The story elements themselves are unusual enough. There are gangsters who can’t be killed, but who are easily embarrassed; small-town hillside farmers who terrorize the gangsters instead of the other way around; a murdered girl’s ghost who is more concerned with being warm in her grave than in getting revenge; an ex-monk-turned-gangster who gives out hilarious bad spiritual information; and diamonds that travel the whole route through the digestive tract – front to back.

The location is great, and is beautifully and cleverly filmed. The acting is remarkable, especially in the way the actors make absurd situations seem natural. Each character is clearly portrayed and directed towards the situation at hand, and not mugging, overacting, or playing to an audience outside the scene. They make you believe. And when it’s over (with a nice human touch), you step back and say “Wow!”
