After the commercial and critical success of “Parasite”, South Korean director Bong Joon-ho has adopted a very different tone for his sci-fi comedy “Mickey 17”. Film critic Ben Croll tells us why Robert Pattinson is very good at acting alongside multiple selves, and how the movie’s overblown atmosphere sits within Bong’s body of work. We also discuss the atmospheric film “Black Dog”, from Chinese director Guan Hu, which takes place in a ghost town in the Gobi Desert and we learn about the phenomenal success of “Ne Zha 2” as the children’s movie becomes the highest-grossing animated feature of all time. Plus French filmmaker Marie Losier delivers a poignant portrait of creativity, aging and performance in her documentary “Peaches Goes Bananas” as she profiles the Canadian musician Peaches over almost two decades.
