Yeon Sang-ho's follow-up to his brutal 'The King of Pigs' is even more grim and pessimistic and strikes a hard punch in the face of faith and religion. Here nothing is sacred as a village preacher tries to defraud his devout flock of all their money. The only one who has called the pastor's bluff is the local drunken scumbag. Only problem is that nobody believes him. 'The Fake' is not for the faint of heart. Because in Yeon Sang-ho's bleak universe there is no salvation.
