Mickey 17: Bong Joon-ho returns to space
After the worldwide success of Parasite in 2020, Bong Joon-ho returns. The South Korean director now offers a science fiction comedy.

Robert Pattinson plays a “dispensable” during a space mission.

She devotes herself entirely to this cause, defying medical predictions.
The soundtrack is punctuated by Sylvie Vartan’s songs. The singer, young Roland’s idol, even makes a few appearances. Director Ken Scott primarily celebrates unconditional maternal love. The touching relationship between mother and son is at the heart of this inspiring story.
