Synopsis
The Libertine
French philosopher Denis Diderot produces the first encyclopedia while indulging in 18th-century decadence.
The President's Barber
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.
