This semi-autobiographical film tells the story of an ageing film director, sick and alone, unable to do any creative work. He looks back over his life, from his impoverished childhood to the highs and lows of his career. Antonio Banderas and a luminous Penélope Cruz star in a richly textured film.

Bong Joon-ho's bitter comic satire traces the intertwining fates of two families, the scrappy and scraping-by Kims and the sleek, successful Parks. As the Kims install themselves in the lives of the Park family, the outstanding ensemble cast upend our expectations of both genre and character.
