Save the Green Planet Limited Edition 4K UHD Blu Ray

IN A BASEMENT NO ONE CAN HEAR YOU SCREAMIn 2003, the same year as Oldboy and Memories of Murder, Korean cinema welcomed its most audacious debut: Jang Joon-hwan's delirious Save the Green Planet! Manic yet focused, outrageous yet grounded, this genre-defying smorgasbord was destined to become South Korea's ultimate cult classic.The world is in grave danger but no one seems to realise it. Thankfully, Byeong-gu (Shin Ha-kyun, Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance) is our salvation. To everyone else, Chairman Kang (Baek Yoon-sik, The President's Last Bang) is a pillar of society,... but Byeong-gu sees him for who he really is: an alien from the Andromedan galaxy. Byeong-gu's only course of action is clear: kidnap the chairman and extract the truth via torture. With his tightrope-walking girlfriend by his side and city cops on his heels, he must use any means necessary to prove himself to the world and save us before it's too late.Boldly blending sci-fi, horror, comedy, procedural, and social commentary, Save the Green Planet! is the gift that keeps on giving. Returning to the home video market after over two decades with an electrifying new director-approved 4K transfer, this tale of conspiracy wrestling with reality beams down just when we need it the most.4K ULTRA-HD LIMITED EDITION CONTENTSDouble-sided fold-out poster featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Nathanael MarshCollectors' perfect bound booklet featuring new and archival writing on the film by Djuna, James Marsh, Daniel Martin, and Kim Seong-hoonReversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Nathanael MarshDISC ONE - FEATURE & EXTRAS (4K ULTRA HD BLU-RAY)Brand new 4K restoration approved by director Jang Joon-hwan4K (2160p) UHD Blu-ray presentation in Dolby Vision (HDR10 compatible)Original DTS-HD MA 5.1 surround audio and lossless stereo audioOptional newly translated English subtitlesBrand new audio commentary by critic and disc producer Pierce Conran and special effects artist Dan MartinArchival audio commentary from 2003 with director Jang Joon-hwan and actor Shin Ha-kyunIntroduction to the film by director Jang Joon-hwanQ&A session with Jang Joon-hwan from the 2024 screening at the British Film InstituteStoryboard and script photo galleriesDISC TWO - BONUS FEATURES (BLU-RAY)Extraterrestrial Perspectives, a newly filmed interview with director Jang Joon-hwanBringing the Truth into Focus, a newly filmed interview with director of photography Hong Kyoung-pyoEarly Imaginings, a newly filmed interview with Jang Joon-hwan on his 1994 short film 2001 ImagineHair and Lazy Mirror, two original short films by Jang Joon-hwanArchival extras, including making of featurettes, interviews, promotional videos, deleted scenes, and trailersPromotional artwork and production photo stills galleries [show more]
