The common misconception about Cannes is that the films being screened are a bunch of movies about cowboys eating pudding. In reality, the Cannes Film Festival premieres movies from all genres and from all countries. Movies such as YUN Sung-hyun’s THE MERCILESS from South Korea.

Official synopsis and trailer follow:
