MAR.IA: Oh Great, A.I. is Taking Over Porn, And Not in a Good Way

Funny. We know we’d come across the Argentine horror flick MAR.IA recently. Not because of the porn, wierdos, but because we’ve covered films from its co-directors Gabriel Crieco and Nicanor Loreti over the years so we were sure we had talked about this new flick before.

A cross between early Yeon Sang-ho animation works like The King of Pigs, Bong Joon-ho’s Okja and Watership Down, the film opens amidst Korea’s foot-and-mouth epidemic of 2010, during which over a million pigs were culled to halt the spread of disease. Beyond the sheer number of animals being slaughtered, many were dismayed by the government’s method of extermination: burying the pigs alive in mass graves.
