Scatological sci-fi from Korea. Aachi and Ssipak are ‘independent entrepreneurs’ in a future where the government wants a monopoly on the only source of energy, human shit.
In a world where energy has run dry, in a country where the government robs its citizens of hope, in a land where freedom is a four letter word there is one substance more valuable than gold, more precious than oil, one thing that powers the entire planet, one thing that rules them all: human shit.
A vertiginous slide down a swirling toilet bowl of bad taste, Aachi& Ssipak is a deliriously detailed, X-rated animated sci-fi thriller, 8 years in the making that has repulsed movie critics and delighted audiences around the world.
“Tasteless? Sure. But it leaves Jackie Chan and Steven Spielberg in the dust when it comes to mega-action scenes so hyper-detailed they take your breath away unfolding at 600 mph. If Michael Bay and John Waters were forced to make a baby, it would grow up to direct Aachi & Ssipak.”
