Direttamente dal Festival di Cannes, l’attesissimo e scioccante zombie movie di Yeon Sang-ho, regista di <\/span>Seoul Station<\/span><\/i>, <\/span>Train to Busan<\/span><\/i> e <\/span>Peninsula<\/span><\/i>. La professoressa Se-jeong partecipa a una conferenza di biotecnologia, che diventer\u00e0 catastrofica a causa dell\u2019accidentale rilascio di un virus a rapida mutazione che infetta i presenti in pochi minuti. Mentre l’epidemia si diffonde e gli infetti iniziano a subire inquietanti mutazioni, le autorit\u00e0 isolano l’intera struttura. Ma un piccolo gruppo di superstiti cerca di penetrare nella zona rossa infestata da minacce in continua evoluzione. Mentre sale l\u2019agitazione tra le persone in trappola, ha inizio una corsa disperata contro la contaminazione e il tempo.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Direct from the Cannes Film Festival, the highly anticipated zombie shocker sensation from Yeon Sang-ho, director of <\/span>Seoul Station<\/span><\/i>, <\/span>Train to Busan<\/span><\/i> and <\/span>Peninsula<\/span><\/i>. Professor Se Jeong attends a biotech conference-only to witness it spiral into catastrophe when a rapidly mutating virus is accidentally unleashed, infecting attendees within minutes. As the outbreak spreads and the infected begin to undergo disturbing physical transformations the authorities seal off the entire facility. But a small group of survivors struggle to navigate the confined spaces overrun by evolving threats. And as tension rises among the trapped, a desperate race against contamination and time begins.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\u00ab<\/span>Le carismatiche creature che chiamiamo zombi riflettono le ansie e le paure delle societ\u00e0 di diversi periodi e si sono evolute nel tempo. Quindi, quando ho iniziato a creare <\/span>Colony<\/span><\/i>, mi sono chiesto: quali sono le ansie dell’epoca in cui viviamo?
<\/span>Viviamo in un’epoca in cui le informazioni vengono scambiate a una velocit\u00e0 vertiginosa. Di conseguenza, l’individualit\u00e0 viene gradualmente soppiantata da una coscienza collettiva. Non solo, l’intelligenza artificiale ha iniziato a usare questa conoscenza collettiva per imitare l’intelligenza umana. Gli zombi di<\/span> Colony<\/span><\/i> sono un prodotto di questo nuovo mondo. Sono esseri privi di senso di individualit\u00e0, che si evolvono, si sviluppano e pensano attraverso una coscienza collettiva. Questi esseri si evolvono ricevendo aggiornamenti. Completamente privi delle barriere mentali e della comunicazione imperfetta propria degli esseri umani, il collettivo stesso esiste come un singolo organismo.
<\/span>Ho concepito questi esseri non come prodotti della fantasia, ma come manifestazioni di un’intelligenza collettiva tipica di questa era in cui le informazioni viaggiano iperveloci. Spero che la paura che si prova guardando il film rispecchi quella che incontriamo quotidianamente nel mondo reale.
<\/span>Ho realizzato <\/span>Colony<\/span><\/i> con la speranza che, in mezzo a questo orrore, il pubblico finisca il film domandandosi: “Cos’\u00e8 che rende tali gli esseri umani?”<\/span>\u00bb

\u00ab<\/span>The charismatic creatures we call zombies have served as symbols of the social anxieties and fears of their respective eras and evolved with the times. So when I set out to make <\/span>Colony<\/span><\/i>, I asked myself\u2014what are the anxieties of the era we are living through now?
<\/span>We live in an era in which information is exchanged at blinding speed. As a result, individuality is gradually being displaced by a collective consciousness. Not only that, AI has begun to use this collective knowledge to mimic human intelligence. The zombies in <\/span>Colony<\/span><\/i> are a product of this new world.
<\/span>The zombies in <\/span>Colony<\/span><\/i> are beings with no sense of individuality, who evolve, develop, and think through collective consciousness. These beings evolve by receiving updates. Totally lacking the mental barriers and imperfect communication inherent to humans, the collective itself exists as a single organism.
<\/span>I conceived of these beings not as products of fantasy, but as manifestations of the collective intelligence we encounter in our era of hyper-rapid information exchange. I hope that the fear one experiences while watching the film mirrors the fear we encounter in the real world every day.
<\/span>I made <\/span>Colony<\/span><\/i> with the hope that, amidst this horror, the audience might finish the film with the question, \u201cWhat is it that makes humans human?\u201d lingering in a corner of their minds.<\/span>\u00bb

Yeon Sang-ho
<\/strong><\/span>Nel corso degli anni, ha spaziato liberamente tra generi e temi, esplorando zombi, parassiti, maledizioni, superpoteri, fantascienza, religione, horror cosmico e la tragedia di chi \u00e8 stato sacrificato alle convenzioni della propria epoca. Grazie alla sua produzione multidisciplinare \u2013 romanzi, fumetti, animazione e film live-action – sia nel campo della produzione indipendente a basso budget che nei blockbuster, matura esperienza in tutte le diverse dimensioni produttive. L\u2019insieme della sua opera, noto come “Yeoniverse”, comprende sia lavori iperrealistici che svelano il lato oscuro della societ\u00e0, sia nuovi mondi creati interamente dalla sua immaginazione, catturando un enorme interesse tra gli appassionati del genere in Corea e all’estero.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
