Concrete Utopia (2023)

After an earthquake, one apartment building remains standing amid the devastation of Seoul. Sheltering people immediately becomes a dispute about membership, ownership and the authority to make rules. Concrete Utopia earns its place through residents' meetings and improvised governance as much as through its ruined skyline. Lee Byung-hun gives the emerging leadership a disturbing force. This is the disaster-thriller departure in the selection, best for viewers interested in how communal survival can turn into exclusion under extreme pressure.
