What a Man Wants
New York Asian Film Festival 2018
June 29 - July 15, 2018
A simple sex farce evolves into a bitingly hilarious social satire that takes predisposed concepts of love and marriage to task in this sharp, character-driven comedy that lays bare the foibles and vulnerabilities of the human condition.
Habitual adulterer Seok-geun and his docile wife live next door to his headstrong sister and her obedient husband Bong-soo. When Seok-geun tries to take Bong-soo under his wing they meet sexy dance teacher Jenny, who sets off a series of events that will reveal everyone’s true colors. What starts off as a simple sex farce evolves into a bitingly hilarious social satire that takes predisposed concepts of love and marriage to task. Director Lee Byeong-heon (Twenty, NYAFF 2015) and his seasoned cast effortlessly deliver a sharp, character-driven comedy that lays bare the foibles and vulnerabilities of the human condition.
