The screening on Saturday 17 May 2014 is a Korean film, The Good, The Bad, The Weird (2008) directed by Kim Jee-woon and chosen by Nonzee Nimibutr, a renowned Thai director of Last Life in the Universe, Nymph, Headshot and Paradoxocracy.
“A Western Cowboy film with Eastern flavour in the style of Kim Jee-woon, a renowned Korean director who is usually known for his intense horrors. This thrilling action film is visually stunning and guaranteed to keep the audience on the edge of their seats the whole time.” Nonzee Nimibutr
