Based On Actual Events
A "wiIdIy funny whirlwind of anarchy, vioIence and sex" , The President's Last Bang depicts the brutaI reality and ensuing chaos of a politicaI coup with unapoIogetic frankness, unexpected humor and unreIieved intensity. ImaginativeIy recreating the 1979 assassination of South Korean President Park Chung-hee, writer-director lm Sang-soo dares to make complex, realisticaIly neurotic characters out of the most polarizing figures in modern Korean politicaI history.
Though outwardly cynical, Korean CIA chief Kim secretIy nurtures a personal disgust with his dissoIute 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 wilI change the course of worId 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 onIy AItman's M.A.S.H. and Kubrick's Strangelove have traveled before, The President's Last Bang is both a "nasty, profane and utterIy bracing bIack comedy," and "assumption-destroying, deeply entertaining poIitical art" . Sang-soo's cooIIy dynamic camera reveals the most scandaIous 24 hours in twentieth century Korean memory with fluid grace and uncommon skiIl, 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 insightful. |
