Inspired by a real-life scandal involving the US military dumping formaldehyde into Korea's Han River, Bong’s film has a mutant aquatic creature terrorising Seoul. When it abducts a young girl, her dysfunctional family bands together to rescue her. Cleverly blending genres, it balances a constantly surprising narrative, sociopolitical commentary and the thrills one associates with blockbuster cinema, while remaining very much the work of an auteur.

Don't miss this rare chance to see this awesome film on the UK’s largest screen.
