“Tears of the Black Tiger is really different…Director [Wisit] Sasanatieng goes big in every way.”—Marrit Ingman, Austin Chronicle
Beautifully artificial sets and fever-pitched romantic drama highlight this tale of a woman who longs for the Black Tiger, the outlaw she loved as a youth. Though director Wisit Sasanatieng succeeds in paying homage to the Thai melodramas of the 1950s and 60s, and packs the film with gorgeous colors and stylized gunfights, the sincerity of the emotions that explode throughout TEARS OF THE BLACK TIGER is what makes the film truly resonate.

Wikipedia
Tears of the Black Tiger (Thai: ฟ้าทะลายโจร, or Fah talai jone, literally, "the heavens strike the thief") is a 2000 Thai western film written and directed by Wisit Sasanatieng. The story of a tragic romance between Dum, a fatalistic, working-class hero, who has become an outlaw, and Rumpoey, the upper-class daughter of a provincial governor, it is equal parts homage to and parody of Thai action films and romantic melodramas of the 1950s and 1960s.

Trivia:
The meaning of the title of this movie is "The Prince of the Bunch of Robbers" (Fáa (short for Jâo Fáa) "Prince"; Thálaay - "Bunch", "Cluster" (mostly used for bunches of are-ca nuts or coconuts; Wisit Sasanatieng's joke. "Thálaay" written slightly different, without "sàrà' à'", but with the same pronunciation, means "destroy"); "Jone" - "Robber", "Bandit". The title of the movie is meant to be a little out of the ordinary, as Wisit has mentioned in several interviews on TV.
