Nonzee Nimibutr is by far my favorite Thai filmmaker. I loved Nang Nak and OK Baythong, so I was looking forward to this.
The sex is so relentless and so relentlessly loveless, it makes the film bleakly ugly where somber reflection (as in Nang Nak) would work much better.
And how can a 31-year-old glamor star (Christy Chung) play a 50-something "mia noy" with no wrinkles? Implausible! My wife insists that the film we saw on DVD could NEVER be screened in Thailand. She thinks it was made for a foreign market, esp. Hong Kong and Taiwan. Any comments, "pheuan Thai"?
