Country : Thailand
Directed by Euthana Mukdasanit , Surachai Jantimatorn
Probably this docudrama , at times boring, at times simplistic, is nothing special artistically. This approach leaves out that 'Tong Pan' is among the first few Thai films that were directly political , bringing on the screen the intense social struggle in Thai society, the poverty of the farmers that were severely exploited, the injustice, the need for radical change. Is not strange at all that the junta of the era banned the film immediately arresting many of the people that took part to its production. However, he value of the film is not only historical and political: many scenes are really memorable, the black and white photograph seems quite beautiful at times, the style is way too modern than almost anything Thai cinema has done before
