Cytat:

Set in the 1970s and 1980s, 'HOPE' is described as a sci-fi film with a fresh and unconventional take on the genre. Na has hinted at a mix of intricate, brutal narratives intertwined with elements of Korea’s socio-political atmosphere during that era, particularly the anti-communist sentiments in rural areas.

Cytat:“it’s still hard to call it finished. the film is still evolving. each department from sound to visuals is practically at war right now. from the beginning, everything was designed and made based on intuition and guesswork. i built the structure layer by layer, like peeling an onion. unlike ordinary films, where you can more or less see the answer once filming is over, this one doesn’t work that way. even now, it’s difficult to judge whether it has truly come together or not”
