If you loved Once Upon a Time in a Battlefield, try Battlefield Heroes
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
Both films are directed by Lee Joon-ik, and they sit in Comedy / History / War territory. If that's the register that drew you to Once Upon a Time in a Battlefield, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Battlefield Heroes is
A Korean period pastiche where history’s losers regroup for a rematch. A Silla-Tang alliance invades Goguryeo eight years after its own pyrrhic victory. The siege arrives draped in farce, though the jokes land about as flat as Goguryeo’s defenses.
