Tears of the Black Tiger
New York Asian Film Festival 2018
June 29 - July 15, 2018
Director Wisit Sasanatieng combines 1960s movie style with outrageous color and modernist panache for a gloriously weird, Southeast Asian Western cult classic.
This gloriously weird cult classic forges NYAFF’s dynamic duo of Southeast Asian Westerns along with Buffalo Boys. A psychedelic pastiche of Thai genre cinema of yore, it starts with the dreamlike romance of rich girl Rumpoey and peasant boy Dum. But when tragedy strikes, Dum embarks on a quest of vengeance. As the gun-slinging vigilante Black Tiger, he infiltrates the gang who killed his father in a wild whirlwind of melodrama. Director Wisit Sasanatieng combines 1960s movie style with outrageous color and modernist panache for a mind-blowing cinematic confection.
