During a time of poverty and despair in the Joseon Dynasty of Korea, a satirical street play that pokes fun at the ruling class while giving a prophecy of ‘a new leader to save the world’ becomes immensely popular among the people. The author of the fable, Heung-boo, subsequently gains fame around the country and is sought after by both the oppressive political power and the rebellion leader who want to use his name and talent for their differing agendas.

ChicRawIdol A brilliant film that helped define a genre
Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
Jemima It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
