Country: Thailand
Directed by Pen-Ek Ratanaruang
One of my most favorite moments of the new wave Thai cinema , this film has a powerful beauty. It begins pessimistic and dark , full of alienation and emptiness. As it moves forward the desperation becomes hope: the dream and the reality are mixed with a very sweet way, the people come closer without even to needs words for it, the life gets color again . Still the melancholy is here but even the melancholy is now poetic and beautiful. Existence is magical -and love also- no matter how hard you try to deny it! At the end the movie little has to do with Thailand or Asia: is deeply existentialist and all the action is taking place in the isolated space, that semi-destroyed villa that in reality is the human mind and heart.
