The TVI Take
Bong Joon-ho's 2013 English-language post-apocalyptic film set on a perpetual-motion train circling a frozen Earth. The structural commitment — class-warfare allegory rendered as horizontal train-car ascent rather than vertical floor-stack — is a more carefully-constructed visual metaphor than the genre typically supports.
Chris Evans's Curtis Everett anchors; the Tilda Swinton bureaucratic-functionary performance is canonical.
