201. Son of the northeast (1982)


Country: Thailand
Directed by Vichit Kounavudhi

Nothing really special here but this documentary style fiction film has to be mentioned as it depicts with accuracy the hardships of the poor villagers of Isaan that even if the film is set at 30 's didnt change for many decades, but also their rich, playfull, almost paganistic culture. The movie combines dramatical and comical elements and somehow balances ethnography, social comentary and humanism
