Film Festival has proven a fertile space for the release of the best the country has on offer to
Western markets, and following the success of Yeon - Sang - ho's extraordinary
zombie film Train to Busan in 2016, Cannes» Midnight Screenings this year featured Jung Byung - gil's high - octane female - centred action movie The Villainess.
For example, his collaborative
film project, Feature (2008), which relocated the action of a traditional
western to the English countryside, slipping into other sub-genres such as the
zombie - flick, and Wagnerian opera, as well as South Asian god - flick.
