Asian Pop-Up Cinema | NEW NORMAL 뉴 노멀 | South Korea

DIRECTOR/SCREENWRITER: Jung Bum-Shik

STARRING: Choi Ji-Woo, Lee Yu-Mi, Choi Min-Ho, Ha Da-In

FILM SOURCE: Well Go USA Entertainment

SYNOPSIS:

Six interconnected tales of love and murder in this ingenious horror-comedy set in social media-obsessed, post-pandemic Seoul by the director of Epitaph.

Fans of cinematic chaos with little regard for political correctness, NEW NORMAL delivers a heavy dose of dark humour, gleeful gags that will raise more than a few eyebrows, and brutal, unpredictable murders, all with a strong flavour of unabashed cynicism. Multiple short, interrelated stories with multiple references to classic films unfold before one’s astonished eyes in a jubilant crescendo culminating in a hilarious finale.

“It’s a kind of Machiavellian therapy for anyone who has ever worked in customer service and had their life ruined by annoying customers.” - Fantasia
