"Snowpiercer", a masterpiece of the seventh art
Image
The ambitious dystopia "Snowpiercer" directed by South Korean Bong Joon-ho in 2013, adapted from the graphic novel "Le Trasperceneige" written by Jean-Marc Rochette and Jacques Loeb, is one of those epoch-making films.
Starring a pre-Marvel Chris Evans and an excellent Song Kang-ho, it presents a futuristic and heartbreaking social allegory.

In a post-apocalyptic world covered in ice after a failed experiment to solve the problem of global warming, the few survivors inhabit a moving train that symbolises the inequalities of capitalism.
Each carriage represents a social class, from the luxuries of the elite to the misery of the final populace. A metaphor of great impact.
But its greatest success was Joon-ho's adrenalised action and impeccable staging, which turned the vehicle into a character.

The Korean director knew how to tackle this class struggle in a visceral and hopeful way, without falling into empty Manichaeism.
A masterpiece of the seventh art in capital letters and an example of the talent of a filmmaker who marked an era with Parasites. A must-see.
