Snow Piercer
Released 2013
Before Bong Joon Ho generated waves with his Best Picture winning masterpiece 'Parasite', he made a cult sci-fi film of equal gravitas. Leading the cast with his sobering performance is Chris Evans (Captain America himself). The film revolves around a dystopian future where what is left of humanity is forced to live on a train. It is politically topical as it parallels the current class warfare and critiques the corrupt aspects of capitalism.
