The Korean maestro moved effortlessly into the English language with this celebrated slice of post-apocalyptic lunatic mayhem. A man-made ice age has killed off all life on Earth, bar a remnant of humans surviving inside a sealed train that endlessly circles the globe. The ordinary folk occupy the rear carriages in terrible conditions; the privileged and powerful in more luxurious ones towards the front. Rebellion looms. Tilda Swinton is magnificently hateful as a head mistress-cum-enforcer.
