Doomsday Book
Directed by Kim Jee-woon, Yim Pil-sung
A darkly comedic anthology that uses apocalyptic scenarios—zombie plague, robot enlightenment, meteor strike—to explore existential questions about meaning, consciousness, and human insignificance.
In 'A Brave New World', a virus brings the city to ruins and zombies flood the streets of Seoul. In 'The Heavenly Creature', a robot reaches enlightenment while working at a temple, but its creators deem this phenomenon a threat to mankind. In the final segment, 'Happy Birthday', a young girl logs onto a strange website and places an order for a new billiard ball for her father. Soon afterwards a meteor heads toward Earth and people flee to underground bomb shelters.
