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 cinema, 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). Since its release in 2000 it has become a cult classic that has introduced countless people to the delirious pleasures of Thai cinema.
