(Reuters photo)CANNES - The central debate of Cannes Film Festival 2017 is one that concerns us all: TV or theatres? For the first time, Cannes picked two films produced by Netflix, the stream service giant, into its elite Competition section. Though not Bong’s best work, Okja is a satisfying romp, a wild ride in eco-adventure, animal sentimentalism and capitalism bashing. Director Bong Joon-ho made some of Korea’s best films in the past 15 years, including the monster flick The Host and the crime noir Memories of Murder.
