Synopsis
This Korean cinema classic is a cunning satire of modern Korean values and aspirations. A nuclear family move into a two-storey house, appearing the epitome of middle-class triumph amidst modernization. But the family pays heavily to maintain this illusion. Dong-shik teaches music to poor workers for a living. To pay the bills, his pregnant wife works as a seamstress while caring for two children, then succumbs to exhaustion. So, Dong-shik hires a student as housemaid, who reveals herself unstable and destructive―though not without the couple’s doing, to whom she is a repository for their frustrations, as husband becomes adulterer and wife a manipulator. Ironically, so hostile were reactions to Lee Eun-shim in the title role that her career ended prematurely.
