Ukratko / In brief
Konačno novi Bong Džun-ho New Bong Joon-ho film finally arrives!
Robert Patinson mora da umre 16 puta / Robert Pattinson must die 16 times Prošlo je skoro šest godina od njegovog poslednjeg ostvarenja „Parazit“, tako da je više nego dobrodošao sa dugoočekivanim filmom „Miki 17“ / It’s been nearly six years since his last feature film, Parasite, so he’s more than welcome with his long-awaited follow-up movie, Mickey 17
Korean filmmaker Bo ng Joon-ho has delivered his first feature film since the Os- car-winning Parasite wowed audi- ences six years ago. And his latest offering is a great, big, slightly soft- edged sci-fi fantasy. Adapted from an Edward Ashton novel, it stars Robert Pattinson as a bio-clone menial worker of the future, con- demned to eternal life, or eternal death, being repeatedly killed in the service of a space-exploration cor- poration, doing fatally dangerous jobs and then being reincarnated. It’s a broad-brush futurist satire, visually spectacular with some very sharp horror elements. Pattinson plays Mickey Barnes, a hapless loser who owes money to terrifying loan sharks, along with his equally rackety business part- ner Timo. To escape these goons, Mickey and Timo sign up for a dan- gerous interplanetary expedition masterminded by a creepy popu- list-plutocrat with shiny teeth and slicked-back hair Kenneth Marshall (Ruffalo) and his lady wife Ylfa (Toni Collette). They blast off into space where Mickey agrees to be an “ex- pendable”: he has to do all the dan- gerous jobs because, when he dies, his body can just be disposed of and a new one is bio-printed with all memories and personality re- installed — something Mickey ac- cepts with stoic humility. The crisis comes as the ship approaches a planet whose inhab- itants have to be exterminated. Mickey himself, on his 17 th incar- nation, falls in love with a fellow crew member, but things get com- plicated when he fails to die as an- ticipated and now lives alongside his new version, Mickey 18. His “du- plicate” is as ruthless and violent as Mickey 17 is gentle and kind. How will the story unfold? We’ll see from 7 th March! Screened at the recent Berlinale, it debuted in Bong’s native South Korea on 28 th February and hits cinemas world- wide this month.
Korejski autor Bong Džun-ho oduševio nas je svo- jim Oskarom nagrađenim „Para- zitom“ pre šest godina, a sada se vraća sa sjajnom velikom naučno- fantastičnom pričom. „Miki 17“ je adaptirana verzija romana Edvar- da Eštona, u kojoj Robert Patin- son glumi kloniranog radnika bu- duć nosti. Osuđen na večni život ili večnu smrt, gine više puta u službi korporacije za istraživanje svemi- ra, obavljajuć i fatalno opasne po- slove, a zatim uvek biva reinkar- niran. To je zapravo futuristička satira, vizuelno spektakularna, sa veoma oštrim elementima užasa. Patinson igra Mikija Barnsa, nesrećnog gubitnika koji dugu- je novac zastrašujućim zelenaši- ma, zajedno sa svojim isto tako nesrećnim poslovnim partnerom Timom. Da bi pobegli od nasilni- ka, Miki i Timo se prijavljuju za opasnu međuplanetarnu ekspedi- ciju koju organizuju jezivi populi- sta-plutokrata sa sjajnim zubima i zalizanom kosom Kenet Maršal (Rufalo) i njegova žena Ilfa (Toni Kolet). Oni odlete u svemir gde Miki pristaje da bude „potrošni materijal“: mora da radi sve opa- sne poslove jer se njegovo telo, ka- da umre, jednostavno odlaže i od- štampa se novo sa svim ponovno instaliranim uspomenama i ličnoš- ću. A Miki sve to prihvata stoič- ki ponizno. Kriza nastupa kada se brod pri- bliži planeti čiji stanovnici moraju da budu istrebljeni. Miki se u svo-
joj 17. inkarnaciji zaljubljuje u ko- leginicu, članicu posade, ali stva- ri se komplikuju kada ne uspe da umre kako se očekivalo, te živi za- jedno sa svojom novom verzijom, Mikijem 18! „Duplikat“ je nemilo- srdan i nasilan jednako koliko je Miki 17 nežan i drag... Šta će dalje biti? Videćemo 7. marta! Film je prikazan na Međunarodnom film- skom festivalu u Berlinu, debito- vao je u Bongovoj rodnoj Južnoj Koreji 28. februara, a u bioskope širom sveta stiže u martu.
