Der Science-Fiction-Thriller 'Hope' des südkoreanischen Regisseurs Na Hong-jin erhielt am Sonntagabend bei seiner Premiere im Wettbewerb der Filmfestspiele von Cannes langanhaltenden Applaus im Stehen.
Der zwei Stunden und vierzig Minuten lange Film, der von einer Alien-Invasion in einem abgelegenen südkoreanischen Dorf erzählt, löste während mehrerer Actionszenen enthusiastischen Beifall aus. Nach Ende der Vorführung im Grand Palais blieb das Publikum etwa sieben Minuten lang stehen.
Erste Reaktionen auf X heben die siebenminütigen Standing Ovations für Na Hong-jins 'Hope' bei der Premiere in Cannes hervor und loben die unterhaltsamen, abenteuerlichen Genre-Elemente sowie die starken schauspielerischen Leistungen; einige Nutzer äußerten sich jedoch skeptisch oder gespalten über die Erzählweise und den Weltenbau und bezeichneten den Film als ihren bisherigen Favoriten am unteren Ende der Festival-Skala.

#Hope: LOCUROTE. Si li compres l’absurditat que planteja Na Hong-Jin, espectacle disfrutoníssim. La primera hora és història del cine. Fassbender i Vikander antològics. Sí a tot. #Cannes2026 pic.twitter.com/p0nxt0GswW

Despite its impressive production values, Na Hong-jin’s almost-3-hours-long monster slasher HOPE is lazy in story-telling and weak in world-making and not even funny. Still, clearly so many people here at Cannes got a kick out of it.

HOPE [Na Hong-jin, 2026] Cannes rarely puts genre movies in Competition but this is a lot of genre. Taut slapstick alien-invasion chase thriller, doofily allegorical mo-cap epic. Everyone in this movie is indestructible and the ending raises many, many questions. Not boring!
