Program Note
It′s a bizarre and perverse debut that we′ve seen in a long time. It starts out tacky at first and then becomes bewildered in the middle and brutal at the end. DO Maeng-su, a weak and timid citizen is a debtor who owes a lot. He gets a fake divorce to protect his beloved wife from the scary private moneylenders, and immediately, ironically, he wins a large sum of the lottery. Then, is the problem all solved now? I don′t think so. From this moment on, the movie spins in an even more unpredictable way. Lucky Monster is a grotesque, morbid love story of a young, degenerate man, and a self-inflicted, fanatical riot of a crushed petty bourgeois. Amid an unpredictable mix of imagination and reality, the witty characters and events emerge in a state of chaos here and there. It’s a genre or a pathological report on how a petty bourgeois becomes a monster.
