Life Picks Ep 96: South Korea's violent crime thriller Deliver Us From Evil is stylish, savage yet tender 8:46 mins Synopsis: Every Thursday, find out about lifestyle and even stay-home entertainment choices during the Covid-19 period in Singapore. This week, Money FM's Bernard Lim hosts The Straits Times' film correspondent John Lui to share his picks for the week. Deliver Us From Evil is the latest in a series of tense, violent crime thrillers from South Korea. If this story has a Western vibe, it is because it features a showdown in a city that has become Asian cinema’s stand-in for Mexico: Bangkok. It’s where triads, yakuza, gun-runners and drug dealers of all nations come to do battle, at least in films. The stage is set for a stylish, savage match-up, one that has surprisingly tender family moments.  The Tunnel, on the other hand, plays out as slow-motion horror, made all the more horrifying because so much of it is based on fact. Opening cards tell audiences that there are 1,100 tunnels in Norway.  Most do not have escape routes and that eight major fires have occurred in these mountain passageways since 2011.  Produced by: Money FM's Bernard Lim & ST Life desk Edited by: Bernard Lim & Muhammad Firmann Follow Life Picks podcast every Thursday and rate us on: Channel: https://str.sg/JWa2 Apple Podcasts: https://str.sg/JWa6 Spotify: https://str.sg/JWau Google Podcasts: https://str.sg/JuYZ Website: http://str.sg/stpodcasts Feedback to: podcast@sph.com.sg See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
