Intergalactic Medicine Show just published the latest installment of my TV/DVD review column, Camera Obscura. This time around, I review the DVD of Natural City, a Korean SF film in the vein of Blade Runner.

[Excerpt:] Director Byung-chun Min says that Natural City was his attempt to make the first great Korean SF film. He didn’t quite succeed in that lofty ambition, but he did come damn close; the film does have great directing, acting, cinematography, and special effects. Alas, the only thing it’s lacking is a great, or even totally coherent, plot.
