Country: Thailand
Directed by Chatri Chalerm Yukol
One of the most nice examples of the social popular Thai cinema of the 70's and early 80's that depicted the social gap between rich and poor, the hardships and hopes of the upcountry people who came to Bangkok hoping for a better life only for be exploited, with their dreams crushed. Chalerm Yukol, as always, dares to touch different issues, depicts the slams and the dirty streets of the city, moves the national cinema one little step farther. If the opening scenes are a bit weak, the second half of the film is masterfully made. A quite important film without any doubt
