The King and the Clown

Once Upon a Time in the Battlefield
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Lee Joon-ik, and they both carry the bittersweet mood tag, and they sit in History territory. If that's the register that drew you to The King and the Clown, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Once Upon a Time in the Battlefield is
Lee Joon-ik gives Korean history a comedic spin. The film follows King Kim Choon-chu of Shilla's alliance with China's Tang empire to conquer the rival kingdom of Baekche, opposed by General Kye Baek. It's a war, but with jokes.
