If you loved The King and the Clown, try Once Upon a Time in a Battlefield
Un ponte tra un film che hai già visto e uno che quasi nessuno ha incrociato. Once Upon a Time in a Battlefield ha circa 8.2× voti in meno di The King and the Clown — è una scelta di nicchia, non una raccomandazione mainstream. Questo è ciò che condividono, e ciò che il secondo fa che il primo non fa.
Cosa condividono
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 a 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.
