Okja

Well the super-pig is pretty great. And so is this whole film, both somewhat despite and thanks to how pointedly polemical it is (those scenes at the end in the factory farm are brutal).

Directed by Bong Joon-ho, also responsible for the memorable Snowpiercer (and The Host, which I still haven't seen) and while he does have a pretty unique vision, I realised earlier today that the style isn't a million miles away from Jeunet's (still high praise after all these years).
