Transcendent Beauty
Combined programme
|
IFFR 2007
Two very different Thai films, that however unmistakably linked to each other in their underlying view of the world. The film by Nilthamrong was shot far from home, in America. It is based on dreams, legends and reincarnation ideas, but says just much about today’s Thailand as the more documentary film by Siriphol.
