South Korea's Lee Jun-ik directs this story of two clowns who's appearance at the kingly court ends up in plenty of laughs then plenty of murder as the courtesans start feeling threatened by jesting that hits a little too close to home. The King and the Clown starts off very funny then turns dark and deep in true Shakespearean fashion. It's been done before, me thinks, but is still worth a view.
My rating: 7 out of 10.
