Director Sang-ho Yeon became an icon with 'Train to Busan'. This year's sequel will make money but was disappointing.
Thinking that the commercial success of the original had muddled his head, I went back in time to his adult animation, 'The Fake'.
It's about hope in the wrong place. A con artist teams up with a pastor to rob villagers, offering them eternal salvation before the expectation that their homes will be lost to make way for a dam. Their nemesis isn't a hero. he beats his family. He robs his daughter. He drinks, gambles and bullies. But he's the atheist who can see the truth. The problem is that those with hectic confirmation bias know him as disreputable.
I'm not a cartoon fan but this was good.
