SYNOPSIS

The story starts off with a background introduction of the tyrant King Yeonsan, followed by an eye-catching opening scene with an itinerant entertainment troupe performing dances, songs and acrobatics. The slack-rope walking and jumping may be somewhat painful for the male audience, but nonetheless, a very entertaining act.



As the story develops, we see a free-spirited member of the wretched performing underclass, Jang-saeng (Karm Woo-sung) challenged the caste system with fatal outcome. Together with his younger effete actor friend Gong-gil (Lee Jun-ki), they decided to head to the capital Han-yang to make their fortune.



Joined by three additional street entertainers, they soon become popular in downtown streets by mocking the solemn King Yeonsan (Jung Jin-young) and his concubine Nok-su (Kang Sung-yeon). Things get serious as the authority come to know of their skits and they are arrested. By a twist of event, they escape execution and are instead installed as court jesters. Then from there, the movie takes audiences from one unexpected place to the next for a roller coaster ride.

A taboo-shattering film that’s been called Korea’s Brokeback Mountain, King and the Clown is a tale of two itinerant clowns. Under a death sentence for treason, the clowns' ability to make the King laugh is their last hope for a pardon. The pressure brings the two entertainers closer to expressing the film’s homosexual subtext than Korean audiences are used to seeing depicted on the big screen. When the King takes to one of the clowns, desire, politics and blood begin to pull them apart.

The most remarkable thing about King and the Clown, besides the acting, is how it manages to walk the tight-rope without falling into the realm of the shocking or over-exaggerated. A movie with a latent theme of homosexuality has the potential to upset the sensibilities of conservative Koreans, but each element of the King and the Clown is so compelling and perfectly played out that the underlying premise never seems vulgar.



The director Lee Jun Ik pointed out that main point of the story was not to talk about homosexuality but rather to evoke the world of the traveling clowns. For the movie, Lee consulted Korea’s last surviving traveling performer, Kim Gi Bok. Mr. Kim, who is 77 years old, said that in those days it wasn’t uncommon for traveling clowns to engage in same-sex relationships. Firstly, minstrels were so poor, they were practically considered beggars. In this financial situation it’s virtually impossible get a wife. Secondly, men were always traveling in groups together and they ended up forming a very close bond, a bond which is perhaps more intimate then a male-female one.
