Wild and wacky sci-fi comedy horror by South Korean director Jang Jun-Hwan. Byeong-Ju (Ha-Kyun Shin) is a confused young man who believes that a major industrialist, Kang (Yun-Shik Baek) is actually an alien from outer space who is out to destroy the planet. Along with his dippy girlfriend, circus performer Sun-i (Jeong-Min Hwang), Byeong-Ju kidnaps Kang and tries to force him - using increasingly extreme methods of interrogation - to reveal his 'royal genetic code' before the next full moon...
This is a jaw-droppingly bizarre movie from Korea that mixes scenes of gruesome torture and violence with comedy and heartbreaking profundity. Perhaps as a result of too many amphetamines and violent incidents in his past, beekeeper Lee Byeong Gu (Sin Ha-Gyun) has become convinced that an unscrupulous business tycoon (Kan Man-Shik) is actually an alien from the planet Andromeda. Lee's frumpy acrobat girlfriend (Hwang Jung-Min) helps him abduct the 'alien' and torture him into confessing. Meanwhile, a hangdog detective is following a trail leading to Lee's hideout high in the mountains. Let the timid be warned: this is not the antipollution comedy that the title might indicate. Man's inhumanity to man is certainly depicted--as in events like Korea's 1980 Kwangju riots--but there's more going on here than any one summation could describe: bees attack, a pet dog named Earth dines on human remains, alternate theories of evolution are posited (ie Noah's Ark was a deep submarine carrying DNA samples); an entire lifetime of films, political turmoil, anime and manga are boiled down and distilled into one profound, multi-textual allegory. Adventurous viewers will be in for one hell of a ride, as this film dares go where few have gone before, yet it does so with heart and intellect to match its wicked humor and headlong momentum.
