The President's last bang (Korean)

This is not the best of contemporary Korean cinema...Yet this is a courageous and audacious black comedy...

A political satire, it is based on the political coup of 1979 in Korea, this film follows an imaginary chaos in a cynical way...The characters are well cut out, they are flawless....the film may have improved a bit in storytelling, yet its worth watching...


Overall 7/10
Camera 7.5/10

NB: The first scene has topless girls. Dont mistake this film to be of a different kind...it was intended probably as a shock treatment to the ways of autocratic rulers..(there are no more obscene scenes)
