A Trailer For Pod Anon's Gay-Themed Hitman Drama BANGKOK LOVE STORY
Pod Anon's Bangkok Love Story is a film I've been hearing little bits and pieces of for a while now but English language information has been hard to come by. Produced by Thailand's Sahamongkol Films it looks to be a welcome step back from the lowest common denominator pulp that makes up most of their roster. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the pulp and they're very good at but sometimes something a little bit more meaty is required. Starring Rattaballung Toesawat and Chaiwat Tongsang the film is the story of a hitman in Bangkok who falls in love with the young man who takes him in and nurses him back to health following a hit gone wrong. There's a trailer and music video for the film online and it looks simply gorgeous, the roaming camera and gorgeous cinematography somehow bring Hou Hsiao-Hsien to mind for me though others may have a different impression. Regardless, it's very well worth looking at.
