Fabulous Images From Yuthlert's FATHERLAND

One of Thailand's most prolific and diverse talents, director Yuthlert Sippapak is best known outside of Thailand's borders as a horror director thanks to the success of the Rahtree films but his filmography is far, far more diverse than that. With films ranging from small indie dramas to high octane action comedies, there is virtually no genre that Sippapak has left untouched and - in many cases - he delights in jamming them together within a single film.

As always seems to be the case Sippapak has multiple projects on the go for 2012 but the most intriguing appears to be Fatherland. Seeming to take the religious and cultural diversity of Thailand as a starting point, Fatherland looks to be Sippapak's first big, serious issue film an action-drama revolving around terrorism.

That's Ananda Everingham in the still above, an instant indication of quality as Everingham has stellar taste in scripts and directors. And the look fo the stills in the gallery below are a further indication of quality, the images positively oozing a 1970s crime vibe. Yes, please.
