Master genre exploder Bong Joon Ho (Parasite) swirls pathos, dark satire, action, and horror into an exhilarating twenty-first-century fairy tale.
An all-star cast including Tilda Swinton (The French Dispatch), Paul Dano (There Will Be Blood), StevenYeun (Minari), and Jake Gyllenhaal (Spider-Man: Far from Home) is led by An Seo Hyun (The Housemaid) as Mija, a South Korean girl growing up on an Edenic mountainside with her grandfather and best friend: Okja, a giant, empathetic “superpig” created as part of a secret GMO experiment. When Okja is abruptly torn away from her, Mija embarks on a perilous rescue mission that places her at the center of a sinister corporate conspiracy.
While Bong’s trademark virtuosic set pieces dazzle, Okja’s beating heart is the connection between a girl and her superpig, made all the more poignant by the brilliant special effects that bring the animal star to unforgettable life
