Pen-ek Ratanaruang’s 2003 film Last Life in the Universe falls under the latter category, invoking that lull between wake and slumber. That slow-motion moment when your eyes are still open as you’re dreaming, where the most nonsensical fantasies make perfect sense. It is also a film labeled as quintessentially “art-house” and “Thai New Wave,” known as the hit that propelled director Pen-ek Ratanaruang into the international spotlight once dominated by his friend and colleague, Apichatpong Weerasethakul.

Thai film was celebrated in Cannes last year with when Apichatpong "Joe" Weerasethakul won the Palme D'or with Uncle Boonmee, and next May Cannes should be seeing the other prolific Thai director in Pen-ek Ratanaruang. Currently filming Headshot, French distributor Wild Side Films has picked up the film, which further indicates that a Cannes premiere is very likely. Nopachai Jayanama, who starred in Ratanaruang's Nymph, will be cast alongside an actress going by the name of Cris Horwang. Pawas Sawatchaiyamet and Raymond Phathanavirangoon are producing. Gist: Adapted from the novel Fon Tok Kuen Fa (Rain Falling Up The Sky) by award-winning writer Win Leowarin, this tells the story of a hitman (Nopachai Jayanama) who wakes up after a two-month coma to find that he literally sees everything upside down. He tries to quit his job, but the past starts to catch up with him. Worth Noting: Ratanaruang is what we call a Cannes regular.
