Wonderful Town
Directors: Additya Assarat
Starring: Anchalee Saisoontom, Supphasit Kansen
Year: 2007
After the tsunami struck the coast town of Takua Pa in Thailand, young architect Ton (Kansen) moves in town to develop a construction project and settles in a small hotel run by Na (Saisoontom), a young sensitive local girl. They begin a secret love affair, but soon rumors spread and they meet with strong opposition from Na's brother and the town's residents.
Comments: Contemplative film that weaves the lush, overgrown, ruins of Southern Thailand with a Romeo and Juliet plot. Assarat's use of long takes recounts displays influences of director, Michaelangelo Antonin.
Recommended.
