Asia Trash Screening Series at the Freer Gallery
Meyer Auditorium – Washington DC
8/13/09
***
Filmed in an eye-watering palette of neon turquoise, chartreuse, hot pink, and other colors not found in nature, Wisit Sasanatieng’s deliriously campy send-up of classic Thai movies, Hollywood melodramas, and believe it or not, cowboy movies “exuberantly combines pop and kitsch with a wholesome belief in the thrills of bad art” (Wesley Morris, Boston Globe).  You can attend the screening with a free ticket.

Thailand / 2000 / 110 min. / Thai with English subtitles
