If you loved Gangnam Blues, try A Dirty Carnival

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

What A Dirty Carnival is

You collect debts, dreaming of gangster glory in the Seoul underworld. But an old friend resurfaces, stirring loyalties. Yoo Ha's brutal neonoir folds back on itself. Its violence lingers.
