59. Rise (2006)


Country: Thailand
Directed by Visra Vichit-Vadakan

A short movie that , although is very personal, in just 8 minutes,  manages to make a lot of comments and rise a lot of questions about Thai politics, Thai identity and social expectations in the modern Thai middle class families.The silent performer in the movie is mixing over and over , almost with suffering, the colors of Thai flag , that are representing the soul of the nation,  in a terrible mess. Where this country is heading to? How Thainess that is always trying to pull you back in its initial - in some way imaginary - form can be defined in this new era? How the creator of the movie herself should deal with her life? Although the film is mild and  is ending with humor, Visra Vichit-Vidakan shares with beautiful way her personal anxiety , that in reality is an anxiety of an entire society
