Netflix Movie 'The Great Flood' Director Kim Byung-woo, "Expressing Human Emotions Comes First Over Impressive Technology"

Director Kim Byung-woo of the Netflix movie 〈The Great Flood〉 revealed his directorial intentions ahead of its release on the 19th.

The Netflix movie 〈The Great Flood〉 depicts the last day on Earth after a great flood, where those who have pinned their last hope for humanity's survival engage in a desperate struggle within a submerged apartment. With a fresh setting and breathtaking immersion, Kim Byung-woo, who has been recognized for his outstanding directorial skills in capturing the psychology of characters in extreme situations, has won the title of Best New Director four times for 〈The Terror Live〉 and opened a new horizon for action blockbusters with 〈PMC: The Bunker〉. Through 〈The Great Flood〉, which adds a sci-fi imagination to disaster films, he presents a dense narrative of characters facing the last day on Earth and moments of choice, showcasing a new genre of fun.

Director Kim Byung-woo stated, "The most important point was how to express human emotions well rather than impressive technology," and added, "Water is called the water demon (水魔) in disasters, but it is also the source of life. I thought that if we visually express human emotions, it might be like a huge wave in turmoil." He conveyed his intention to incorporate humanity's struggles in the face of inevitable disasters and insights about human existence into the story.

The sci-fi disaster blockbuster 〈The Great Flood〉 will be released on Netflix on December 19.
