Kim Jee-Woon’s latest project touches down at the Cannes Film Festival. Kim directed The Foul King, A Tale of Two Sisters and A Bittersweet Life. His newest film, The Good, the Bad, the Weird, stars Song Kang-ho, Lee Byung-hun and Jung Woo-sung and is a foray into “oriental western”. Never heard of that genre before, so Kim must be a trailblazer. According to the Cannes Film Festival, the movie centers on:

The 30ties in the Mandchurian [sic] desert. The Weird steals a map from a japanese official. The Bad is paid to get it back. The Good is a bounty hunter who tracks them down. In this unpredictable, escalating battle for the map and the men, who will stand in the end as the winner?

They forgot to mention that hilarity ensues when they also find a baby girl on their doorstep. How will these three bachelors deal with dirty diapers and 3 a.m. feedings?

I will see this movie solely based on A Tale of Two Sisters. The Youtube community is abuzz over this trailer. Already, 3 comments on 1,243 views. kimberlykenobi is “not sure I can handle how good this movie is going to be!” kruskev says “this movie will be amazing” and metaxyfsiks opines “amazing”. metaxyfsiks sounds like the guy who can’t come up original jokes and just says “yeah!” once they’re told. Anyway, this movie shall be amazing.
