2020 | 108 Minutes | Kim Yong-Hoon

Free | Open to the public | In Korean with English subtitles

“Fishy metaphors abound in Kim Yong-hoon's smart port-city neo-noir “Beasts Clawing at Straws (Jipuragirado Jabgo Sipeun Jimseungdeul)”, which looks set to hook audiences in its native Korea following a high-profile bow in the main competition at Rotterdam. It should also find welcoming berths overseas at festivals receptive to audience-friendly genre fare, and the adaptation of Sone Keisuke's Japanese novel has considerable English-language remake appeal at a time when Korean cinema has never enjoyed such global attention.” –Neil Young, The Hollywood Reporter
