In a small rural town, Joo Se-jong sells bootleg alcohol with his two younger brothers. Thing is, someone has died after drinking their liquor, so they must take back the hooch they’ve brewed and sent to the town of Hwaseong, before another person perishes from it. While on a mission to retrieve their deadly booze, they come across two dangerous and homicidal cultists who are terrorizing the villagers. Now, they must also fight for their survival and go up against the murderous duo.
Folks, we have ourselves a wild and insane fun ride here! Western, action, comedy—MASH VILLE does it all! Directed by Hwang Wook, this is his latest feature after LIVE HARD and DOG EAT DOG. His love for those three genres shines through from start to finish with stylish cinematography, quirky characters, and an incredibly entertaining screenplay. Most importantly, pitch-black humour abounds. At first glance, the premise is undeniably ridiculous, insane even. Hwang and company commit to their absurdity, though, and it’s an absolute blast. There’s so much to love and talk about in MASH VILLE. Fantasia is beyond excited to screen the World Premiere of this genre-mashing crowdpleaser, sure to be a Korean cult classic as time goes on. If you’re a fan of Kim Jee-woon’s THE GOOD, THE BAD, THE WEIRD, this is the movie for you! – Steven Lee
