Title DOOMSDAY BOOK
Korean 인류멸망보고서
South Korea, 2011
Director KIM Jee-woon, YIM Pil-sung
Cast RYOO Seung-beom, KIM Gang-woo, SONG Sae-byeok
In three chapters, two acclaimed Korean directors probe the state of human compassion in the era of high technology. Across the installments we witness robots attaining Buddhist nirvana, zombie attacks as ecological allegories, and the possibility of black holes on the Internet. These vignettes thematically offer an alternative definition of humanity that the world may very well need to embrace in the near future.
KIM Jee-woon made his directorial debut with his own screenplay for 1998's THE QUIET FAMILY. Through his successive features -- which include THE FOUL KING (2000), A TALE OF TWO SISTERS (2003), and A BITTERSWEET LIFE (2005) -- he has firmly established himself as a blockbuster director. His 2008 THE GOOD, THE BAD, THE WEIRD took in nearly 7 million admissions domestically.
YIM Pil-seong has been making short films since 1997, with his BABY (1999) screening at both the Venice International Film Festival and Karlovy Vary International Film Festival. He made his feature debut with 2004's ANTARCTIC JOURNAL, which scored over 1 million admissions, and also directed the 2007 fantasy drama HANSEL AND GRETEL.
