Full Plot Details

On October 26, 1979, President Park Chung Hee, who had ruled South Korea since a 1961 coup, was assassinated by Kim Jae Kyu, his director of intelligence. The film depicts the events of that night, with a coda about the fate of each conspirator. While Park dines in the Blue House with two associates and two young women, Kim carries out his plot. He talks briefly of bringing democracy; mostly he seems irritated. The other assassins seem without motive beyond following orders. The killings are bloody, the aftermath equally disorderly and haphazard. Can major events of history be so mundane, so nearly comic?

Movie Reviews

L.A. Weekly - 10/10 by Scott FoundasThis meticulously well-made picture is disarmingly funny at times - not least during the ballet of bloody absurdity that is the assassination itself - but also subdued and straight-faced, with one eye planted on 1979 and the other on the violent student demonstrations looming in the distance.
Seattle Post-Intelligencer - 8/10 by Sean AxmakerThe funniest film you'll see this year about a political assassination.
Boston Globe - 8/10 by Janice PageWriter-director Im Sang Soo's coolly stylized political satire doesn't provide a lot of answers, unfortunately, but it does show how the future of a nation might turn on a few drunken insults thrown around at a high-level dinner party.
Deseret News (Salt Lake City) - 8/10 by Jeff ViceThe off-kilter humor is a welcome contrast, and the performances are strong, particularly by Baek as the increasingly unhinged patsy.
Seattle Times - 8/10 by Ted FryThe President's Last Bang comes off as all too ridiculously believable.
Salt Lake Tribune - 8/10 by Sean P. MeansThe gallery of Park's cronies and sycophants are presented as buffoons, but as the violence starts, the narrative thread gets hopelessly tangled.
San Francisco Chronicle - 8/10 by G. Allen JohnsonIm Sang Soo is, film by film, challenging the way modern South Koreans think and behave.
The A.V. Club - 8/10 by Noel MurrayThough The President's Last Bang is undeniably dense-with more than a dozen significant characters-the particulars aren't too tough to understand.
Los Angeles Times - 8/10 by Kevin ThomasAn outrageous, savagely comical account of the disastrous circumstances surrounding the assassination of dictatorial South Korean President Park Chung Hee in 1979.
New York Daily News - 8/10 by Jami BernardThis South Korean political satire might not have historical resonance for American audiences -- it's loosely based on the 1979 assassination of dictator Park Chunghee by his own people -- but it takes the same comically dim view of governmental power and procedure as "Dr. Strangelove."
