Screening of the film COLONY at L'Atalante cinema

Dive into the dizzying universe of COLONY, the new film by Yeon Sang-ho, director of the highly effective Train to Busan. After making his mark with zombie narratives of striking efficiency, the Korean filmmaker returns with a work as thrilling as it is joyful.

In COLONY, Yeon Sang-ho’s brilliant idea was to verticalize his playground: trapped at the top of a tower, the characters have no other escape than to fall. As usual, the director uses the genre as a social revealer. Here, the zombies don’t just chase the living: they wander, in viscous clusters, through shopping malls like emaciated consumers… A social satire as sharp as it is entertaining.

Screened in the Midnight Session at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival, COLONY has been praised by critics: « One of the most enjoyable zombie films of the decade » (Mad Movies). A cinematic experience not to be missed from today at L'Atalante.
