Simbi_Xombies

As altered foods ravage the world, voodoo forces dysfunctional family SheepPsyche to play live reggae K-pop in VR.

Shot in South Korea, “Ximbi XombiX” presents to the American consumer an Alice in Wonderland-esque, acid trip reality painted with attractively outlandish and unfamiliar colors and cultural undertones. This is a world where Soylent Green-style, scientifically overhauled food is fed to its zombified masses. And as is the case with most societies that have lost track of humanity’s true plot, art is either a constantly blaring, vapid magnifier of those distortions, or the underbelly’s infrequently-aired pushback against them. Ricco (embodied by Kim himself) eschews the banal trappings of his own affluence, swimming against the mainstream’s currents most grotesquely exemplified by its popular music. As mastermind of “K-hop” band Sheeppsyche, he’s steadfast against pop star Jo Bin (Claudia Pak) joining his counterculturist insurgency, but we soon pay witness to the pitfalls noble artists can fall into when intoxicated by the possibility their art might somehow be surfaced to a huge audience.
