Two Thai films are being shown at the San Francisco International Film Festival. One is Last Life in the Universe, starring Tadanobu Asano, directed by Pen-Ek Ratanaruang and photographed by Christopher Doyle. I heartily recommend this, but be quick, as its last showing at the fest is on Monday, April 19. If you miss it, you can get the DVD by mail order from Thailand.
Also at the SF fest is Beautiful Boxer, the biopic about Nong Toom, a devastating Thai kickboxer who had a sex change operation.
In addition, Beautiful Boxer has started showing in Singapore. I expect the film will be marketed very heavily internationally before it is finally released on DVD. A press blitz follows the film wherever it goes. National Geographic even has an article on Nong Toom.
I regret to say I missed this movie when it played in Bangkok.
