Pig tale lures stars

Big Hollywood names including Tilda Swinton, Jake Gyllenhall, Paul Dano and Lily Collins star in Okja, an engaging tale about a girl called Mija and her affection for a giant-sized creature named Okja, which resembles a cross between a pig and a hippopotamus. The film’s premise is that Okja has been living happily in the mountains in South Korea with Mija (An Seo Hyun) but is in danger of being captured by a powerful multi-national and eventually killed for meat. A recent review by British publication The Guardian awarded the film five stars. Streams On Netflix from June 28.
