A Coffee Vending Machine and Its Sword (30 minutes)
IMDb

This is a 2007 South Korean short film by the director of the 2014 feature film Satellite Girl and Milk Cow, and I saw it as a bonus feature on the DVD of that movie. It's the same basic type of absurdist humor as that movie. It begins with a samurai warrior who is defeated in battle, and wishes to be reincarnated with a steel body. And he is. He's reincarnated as a coffee vending machine. But he can transform into a human for limited periods of time, to fight assassins that are coming after him. Then one night a drunk girl takes the vending machine home, and over time, the two of them develop feelings for each other. Yeah, it's weird. And I don't know what else to tell you, but it's amusing.
