Pen-ek Ratanaruang

What a mouthful eh, my favourite Thai filmmaker. Lets see how much I can remember.

49. Monrak Transitor. My first Thai film this was sometime back in Junior College, must have been year 2002. Images from which continue to haunt me now and then. Must pay a re-visit soon, the film I mean.

50. Last Life in the Universe. From the list of films I wish I have made. What's a Japanese Yakuza doing in Thailand? Had a couple of sleepless nights after the film, wondering about its heart-wrenching ending.

51. Invisible Waves. Asano Tadanobu is a delightful actor to watch brooding. Cute pick-up scene as shown above. Phuket, if I didn't recall wrongly.

52. Ploy. I have to admit I struggled to keep myself awake. Not my favourite Pen-ek's.
