“He must be responsible to the end of the world and so cannot stay in bed even when he was suffering from the high and scary fever,” state news agency KCNA quoted her as saying. North Korea lacks the resources to test widely for the virus, mostly reporting “fever cases” rather than confirmed infections. During a national meeting to review the country’s anti-epidemic measures, Kim’s sister, Kim Yo Jong, a top official in the ruling Workers’ Party, said he had experienced “fever symptoms” during the three-month outbreak. 11, 2022, 9:04 AM +07 By Stella Kim and Rhoda Kwan SEOUL, South Korea - North Korea has declared victory over its first acknowledged outbreak of the coronavirus, state media reported Thursday, as leader Kim Jong Un’s sister indicated that he may have been among those infected.

It’s an unexpected and demanding film experience which isn’t necessarily to everyone’s taste, wagering on fascination, if not out-and-out trance. Hotel Poseidon offers up a succession of grotesque and bizarre portraits which take viewers, who are receptive to his universe, on a wholly hallucinogenic bad trip, where they are invited to consider a society in utter decay, and rotting from the inside out, from which only a minimum of life force and a return to nature can offer an escape and a new beginning. Straight out of the imagination of Stef Lernous, the theatre director who founded the Abbatoir Fermé theatre company, the film is a big screen transposition of a slapstick and nightmaresque visual universe, which is as much inspired by Lynch as it is by Bosch. It’s yet to turn into a heap of ruins, at the point before it’s possible to wipe the slate clean… Just before the end. It is, however, a world between two worlds. It’s on the verge of decomposition, suffering from a systemic decline which gives rise to widespread squalor.

The world of Hotel Poseidon, a putrid kingdom, is in full decay. Soon, however, they appear to us as beings who are very much alive, albeit living a degraded and rotten form of life.

At first glance, the agonising souls inhabiting the hotel seem to be an entirely unintimidating army of depressive zombies. Here, far from being a big event, apocalypse is a slow and insidious process. Often, in film, apocalypses are spectacular, sending a shockwave overturning lives and certainties.

It’s hard to explain the very specific aesthetic of Hotel Poseidon, which is the first feature film by Belgium’s Stef Lernous (presented in a world premiere within the Brussels International Fantastic Film Festival (BIFFF)’s White Raven Competition) it’s one of decay, which plays on the viewer’s disgust a disgust, however, which might turn to fascination: a somewhat unhealthy fascination, perhaps, for the sordid and the grotesque, for a repugnant world, which sounds somewhat familiar… She doesn’t yet realise that her stay will be punctuated by unlikely encounters and collective hallucinations which either turn into nightmares or result in some form of rebirth. Whilst Dave might seem deeply depressive (to say the least), and there’s no denying he doesn’t look too healthy, a glimmer of melancholy can still be detected in the depths of his somewhat lacklustre eyes, which might, over time, give rise to a whisper of hope… At least that seems to be the thinking of a young Dutch tourist who’s determined to drop anchor at the Hotel Poseidon. There is a foul smell in the air, after all. Without great conviction yet tirelessly, he performs the same rituals, feigning a passing interest in basic personal hygiene, knocking back pills, smoothing gel into his hair and covering himself in deodorant. Neon strips flicker, lightbulbs come close to exploding, taps drip, naturally, and fridges hum. Every morning, Dave wakes up tired in his closed hotel where, strangely, everything seems to malfunction.
