Hom rong (2004)
A Wonderful Movie for a Dose of Thai Culture.
I'm going to keep this comment short.
This is the best Thai movie I've seen thus far. I am half Thai, and born in the US. I often seek out Thai movies to try to get a little closer to my heritage, which is difficult in the States. This was a poignant, well-written story, which touched my heart. I have seen several Thai movies in the past three years. I won't name them, but they were filled with violence, gratuitous sex, and more than enough foul language. Yes, foul Thai language. The Overture is funny without the crude language, and is a heartwarming trek through Sorn's life. If you are a fellow Thai, or are interested in Thai culture, especially its music, this is a must-see. I'm definitely going to try to obtain a copy of this movie for my DVD library.
