Along with Buffalo Boys this gloriously weird cult classic forges NYAFF’s dynamic duo of Southeast Asian Westerns. This psychedelic pastiche of Thai genre cinema of yore starts with the dream-like 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 and cliffhangers. Director Wisit Sasanatieng combines 1960’s movie tricks and tropes with outrageous color and modernist panache into a mind-blowing cinematic confection.
