The director of The Host and Memories of Murder has excelled himself with a social satire that employs the techniques of farce to head-spinning effect. Bong Joon Ho, who shares screenwriting duties with Han Jin Won, looks to be arguing for the imminence of an apocalypse. Kim Ki Taek (Song Kang Ho), gruff paterfamilias, becomes the chauffeur. Kim Ki Jeong (Park So Dam), cool daughter, poses as an art tutor. Eventually the family are running the property while the owners remain unaware that any staff member is related to any other.
