265. Country hotel (1957)

 

Country: Thailand

Directed by Ratana Pestonji


No doubt that a film historian would regard this movie, together with some other films of Ratana Pestonji who almost invented the modern Thai cinema, as a landmark for the  cinema of the Southeast Asia. However, Country hotel is not just a film good for its era that it has to be watched in some film museum as part of the history. Sixty-five years latter it's still quite fresh, with a nice dark comical style and a plot that keeps you captivated, with the 140 minutes of its duration to pass surprisingly fast as it's a lot of fun to watch!
