Rating: 

If you go in thinking this is an alien invasion film (given Bong's penchant) you are going to be terribly wrong. This film directed by Korean auteur Bong-Joon-ho and co-written by Han Jin-won, is one of the best films the last year has produced. Touted as an Oscar favourite, going in with nods in both the main Best Feature category as well as Best Foreign film, this film has had a stupendous run at all the major festivals with critics unwaveringly unanimous in its praise. And the film itself reveals why?

With all the members of their family unemployed the Ki-taek's ---Song Kang-ho as the father, his wife Chung-sook (Chang Hyae-jin), son Ki-woo (Choi Woo-shik) and daughter Ki-jung (Park So-dam), are looking for some much needed opportunity when their son's friend throws in an idea. The rest, as they say is history.
