THE PRESIDENT'S BARBER

"A time when a bad haircut can get you killed."

20041h 56m7.1 TMDb

Directed by Lim Chan-sang

Spoiler-Free

A well-meaning but politically naive barber gets pulled into the inner circle of the South Korean dictator Park Chung-Hee, with rather baleful consequences for his hapless family. This sharp political satire covers roughly twenty years in South Korean political history, from the viewpoint of the barber's son.
