Chief Chick Comments

This winner of the top prize at The Cannes Film Festival is interesting yet troubling. It held my interest, but I suspect will not be appreciated by all. The son of a very poor family, all currently unemployed, gets a job as an English tutor for a high school daughter of the Parks, a wealthy family who lives in an architectural masterpiece in the ritzy area of Seoul. What follows is troubling but understandable. The surprise twists and turns of the "house" as well as the families is remarkable. Yes, there are class divisions and statements here. Let me know when you figure them out!
