In regards to Korean filmmakers, Western audiences often sing the praises of Park Chan-wook and Bong Joon-ho (especially after the latter’s Oscar wins), yet Kim Jee-woon can feel left out of the conversation. With a filmography that includes I Saw The Devil, A Tale of Two Sisters, and A Bittersweet Life, director Kim has built a name for himself as a genre maestro which leaves him deserved to be talked about with the same reverence as his generational peers. Nestled within his works is The Good, The Bad, The Weird, a sweeping epic that became one of South Korea’s highest grossing films.
My review of The Good, The Bad, The Weird is now available to read at Nerdly.
