We catch up with one of our all-time favourite film­mak­ers about his sci-fi caper and cre­at­ing crois­sant-like creatures.

It’s no secret at Lit­tle White Lies we’re big fans of Bong Joon Ho, the South Kore­an wun­derkind behind such mar­vels as Mem­o­ries of Mur­der, The Host and, of course, Par­a­site, so it’s safe to say we’ve been eager­ly antic­i­pat­ing the release of Mick­ey 17. A whole six years after he scooped the Palme d’Or and Best Pic­ture Oscar, Direc­tor Bong is back and big­ger than ever. We caught up with him ahead of Mick­ey 17’s release to chat creepy crea­tures, Robert Pattinson’s vague idea of a Pitts­burgh accent, and his uncan­ny tal­ent for pre­dict­ing the future.

Mick­ey 17 is in UK and Irish cin­e­mas from Fri­day 7 March 2025.
