SLOW BURNER



Every kingdom periodically flushes a madman at its helm and movies dealing with his/her actions can be very powerful. Especially when confronted with the common folk or, like in „The king and the clown”, a pair of satirical clowns.

All the perverted ideas and relations that will be derived from that concept will be laid out in a fine manner, followed by some truly convincing roles (Joon-Gi Lee). The symbolism of the final clashes will be hightened by a seamless transition to a pure Korean folk tale it is based on.

„The king and the clown” is one good Korean folk tale developed for the silver screen.
