Country living doesn't turn out quite like this dysfunctional family had hoped for in this riotous black comedy from Kim Ji-woon (A tale of two sisters, Foul Kings).
When a family opens a mountain lodge, their ambition for establishing a haven of calm are soon dashed by the death of their first guest. The family decides to bury the body to avoid damaging the new hotel's reputation but before long they're welcoming more guests in the form of a suicidal couple. Burying them seems the obvious course of action until the local council starts work on their long-awaited road through the families makeshift burial ground. Events spiral out of control until eventually one of the fatal guests happens to be a policeman and the full force of the law lands in the Korean countryside.
Undoubtedly an inspirational farce having already influenced Takashi Miike's 'The Happiness of the Katakuris' and starring Choi Min-sik (Oldboy), the award-winning and superbly cast 'The Quiet Family' straddles the very fine line between horror and humour.
