Cannes 2001 Un certain regard • A romantic, action packed, tragedy filled, nostalgic homage to the larger than life, Thai western genre ('think Spagetti Western in Thailand'). TEARS OF THE BLACK TIGER vividly reveals what happens when a girl from the right side of the tracks falls in love with the most feared bandit in the country.

The film is a very special and unique movie, inspired by classic westerns and dreamy romantic dramas, with a gorgeous nostalgic and romantic soundtrack and the necessary shoot-outs and brokenhearted cowboys and beautiful women.

The film is done completely in a handtinted style, which emphasizes the nostalgic atmosphere by creating supersatuated colours.
