Mr. Sohal obtained Bong Joon Ho's autograph at the Curzon Cinema, Mayfair, London, where there was a special screening of the film, and Jeong-eun Lee's signature at the London Korean Film Festival.  The artwork for this poster is very clever. Parasites/worms are only able to sense light, which tells them if they're above or below ground. On this poster, those people who live above ground have white narrow boxes over their eyes, and those who live below ground have black narrow boxes.

It is rare for anyone to have an original poster signed, as the majority of signatures are on pieces of paper, photographs, and video/DVD sleeves.

This South Korean film was directed by Bong Joon Ho, and written by Bong Joon Ho and Jin-won Han. The cast includes Song Kang-ho, Lee Sun-kyun, Cho Yeo-jeong, Choi Woo-shik, Park So-dam, Jang Hye-jin and Lee Jung-eun. The film tells the story of a poor family whose son is asked by his friend to take over the tutoring of the daughter of a wealthy family, despite not having a university education. This opens the door for him and his family to scheme their way into being employed by the family, and slowly infiltrate their household.  The family is completely unaware that the new members of staff are all related. This film did extremely well at the Oscars, winning a total of four, including Best Motion Picture of the Year.
