Program Note

Seok-hun (Ryu Seung-ryong), an ordinary uncle, happens to get psychokinesis one day. On the other hand, her daughter Rumi (Shim Eun-kyung), who separated from him 10 years ago, is in danger of losing her place due to the redevelopment plan of a major construction company. When he meets his daughter again, he starts to confront people who threaten Rumi by using psychokinesis while she is having a reckless fight with a large company. It is impressive to see the attempt to twist the stereotype of super powers in the film, which has been represented as super soldiers. The image of Seok-hun, who uses supernatural powers for small purposes, is absurd but realistic. The director’s viewpoint, which simplified various human groups, is also noteworthy. This soulful slapstick and black comedy hold the director Yeon Sang-ho’s satisfying resistance to the ‘Gopjil’ in the Korean society. (YOO Hyun-ji)
