“Every time I am asked my recommendations about Youn Yuh-jung’s work, I always recommend this film along with Kim Ki-young’s movies.”

“The movie triggered controversy and hype with its portrayal of the lives of the privileged in Korean society, exploring themes of sex and money, greed and ambition.”

“The New York Times reviewed ‘It feeds an insatiable curiosity about how the other half - or, in current parlance, the 1 percent - lives, and what it shows us is gorgeous, grotesque and disconcertingly human.’”
