Program Note
Space Sweepers was one of the most anticipated Korean films in the first half of 2021. Director Jo Sung-hee creates a unique fantasy while following some of the SF genre rules, and in so doing, introduces his own unique take on reality yet again. He focuses on a sense of loss, which is the core sentiment in SF movies in general, but refuses to bring in aimless drifts or sense of isolation breaking the usual expectation. Instead, he shows a group of clumsy experts who enjoy playing in space, a new concept of territory in the future. "Space" is a new frontier, a barren workplace, a fierce battlefield, and a thrilling playground. There, grown-ups who have not fully grown up write new stories of desperate families and futuristic melodramas of daily life. Space Sweepers, in other words, is a drama that takes place in the universe and SF movie that is strangely delightful. (HONG Eunmi)
