This is the kind of movie that restores my faith in cinema. A love letter to old Thai flicks and spaguetti westerns, "Tears" is the right mix of homage and style. This is not a "parody", and seems that western movie templates can't tolerate the existance of movies like this one w... read more
Childhood sweethearts are tragically separated. One becomes an infamous bandit, and the other is arranged to marry a police captain who plans to hunt him down. A campy Thai spaghetti Western with arthouse visuals, this flick screams, "Look at me! I'm a cult movie!"
[font=Century Gothic]In "Tears of the Black Tiger," Dom(Chartchai Ngamsan) promises to meet Rumposey(Stella Malucchi), so they can elope, but he cannot make it due to his job as a crack shot where he and his partner, Mahesuan(Supakorn Kitsuwon), kill a snitch at the same time for... read more
A classic spaghetti western from Thailand? Well, as over the top as it was, and as colorful and laughable some scenes were, it worked! I could tell that Tarantino watched this film at least a couple times through before he made Kill Bill... and I can see why he got inspired. It's... read more
A wonderfully offbeat, entirely artifice Thai Romeo & Juliet spaghetti-western, it has a grand sense of humor, but does not sacrifice characters or plot. The plot is a little predictable though (again, it is a remake of R&J) and a near end wedding incident seems awkward.
Hey everybody! Who wants to see a Thai western-musical-melodrama-action-romance? Well I sure as hell do.
There's few things that can prepare you for the oddness of Tears of the Black Tiger. It veers from comedy, to tragedy, and all the goofy areas in between with an able hand,... read more
The movie is fun to watch, with an attractive cast. Full Review
You've never seen and never will see anything quite like Tears of the Black Tiger. Full Review
A parody of and winking homage to the history of Thai melodrama, Wisit Sasanatieng's uproarious filmmaking debut exuberantly combines pop and kitsch with a wholesome belief in the thrills of bad art. Full Review
[Director] Sasanatieng engages the viewer's emotions fully in the squaring away of the eternal triangle, involving young people who emerge as three-dimensional individuals even though they are archety... Full Review
The result is something so old it's new, so corny it's funny. And while Tears of the Black Tiger is nothing more than entertaining, at least it's that. Full Review
It's watchable, but eventually wears you down with its over-the-top cleverness. Full Review
What the story lacks in snap, it makes up for in sincerity. [The film's] melodrama is so poker-faced and its gore so explicit (if phony-looking) that it's hard to tell whether you're dealing with the ... Full Review
What makes Tears a must-see are its day-glo colors, stylized gunfights, music that sounds as if Ennio Morricone had written it for one of Leone's spaghetti Westerns, and hyperbolic dialogue. Full Review
