Snowpiercer as Anthropoetics

Crazed with extremity of affect, thriller action, and a cosmopolitical style as befits the Korean-global blockbuster mode of auteur production, Bong Joon-ho’s 2013 film Snowpiercer also prods its audience to confront looming conditions of global warming, ecological disequilibrium, class and resource warfare, trans-species bonding, and the planetary horizon of the Anthropocene.
