Based On ActuaI Events
A "wiIdly funny whirIwind of anarchy, vioIence and sex" , The President's Last Bang depicts the brutal reaIity and ensuing chaos of a poIiticaI coup with unapoIogetic frankness, unexpected humor and unrelieved intensity. ImaginativeIy recreating the 1979 assassination of South Korean President Park Chung-hee, writer-director lm Sang-soo dares to make complex, realistically neurotic characters out of the most polarizing figures in modern Korean politicaI history.
Though outwardIy cynical, Korean CIA chief Kim secretIy nurtures a personaI disgust with his dissolute president's embarrassing appetites and impatience with his dissent-mired nation. During yet another banquet with President Park, the chief executive's corrupt top advisors and two wary party girIs, Kim impulsively improvises a conspiracy that will change the course of world poIitics. When Kim and his thuggish enforcer Ju make their move, they initiate a bloodbath that threatens to drown both victim and assassin.
Going where only AItman's M.A.S.H. and Kubrick's StrangeIove have traveIed before, The President's Last Bang is both a "nasty, profane and utterly bracing bIack comedy," and "assumption-destroying, deepIy entertaining politicaI art" . Sang-soo's cooIly dynamic camera reveals the most scandalous 24 hours in twentieth century Korean memory with fluid grace and uncommon skill, and his cast anchors The President's Last Bang's remarkabIe mix of expose, tragedy and farce with keenIy observed characterizations. lt is contemporary Asian cinema at its most courageous, audacious and insightfuI. |
