NO BLOOD NO TEARS

Pido Nummuldo Eobshi

Director Ryu Seung-wan / 2002 / South Korea

Gyung-sun used to be a professional safecracker but now she is all washed up, trawling the streets as a cab driver in order to pay off her ex-husband's debts. The only thing that gets her by is the hope that one day she'll meet her estranged daughter.

Soo-jin, nicknamed 'Sunglasses Girl', lives with her violent boyfriend, Bulldog, and dreams of becoming a famous pop singer. However Bulldog, an ex-boxer who runs an illegal dogfight ring that literally overflows with money, is overly possessive of his lover, never allowing her the freedom she craves.

When the two women meet, they join forces to carve out their own destinies and bring down Bulldog and the lucrative business he spearheads.

A hard-boiled, cat-and-mouse action-noir genre piece par excellence from the explosive director of Die Bad (MIFF 2001), No Blood No Tears is a fast-paced, high-octane knockout not to be missed.
