Interview: Jo In-sung Leapt Into 'Hope' for the Cinematic Thrill Only Humans Can Deliver

Few actors throw themselves at the impossible the way Jo In-sung does. He runs, hangs on, endures and throws his body into action. In director Na Hong-jin's new film 〈Hope〉, Jo In-sung delivers raw, unpolished action, exuding a wildness and animal instinct as he faces an extraterrestrial...
