New Normal

New Normal shows in several stories how the pandemic changed the world. How it changed us. With his film, director Jung Bum-shik draws attention to how isolation intensifies our loneliness in today’s world. With smartphone in hand, we have always been somewhat disconnected from our surroundings. But even everyday things – going to lunch or meeting up with friends – can be downright frightening in this film. But is that really only the case in the film? New Normal perfectly juggles various genres, from social horror to thriller to slapstick comedy. (Filmasia)
