13.ELECTRA COMPLEX (Surakij Poosoontornsri, Assumption)
14.THE FIRE DANCE (ระบำกลางไฟ) (Jaturon
Jetwiriyanon, Ladkrabang, A-/B+)
I wish that the film doesn’t try to be a thriller with many plot
twists. I would have liked it much more if the film had been a dramatic one
focusing on the homosexual love affair.
15.THE HEART OF VIETNAM 1975 (Vorapitcha Rattanaprasert)
16.THE HONEST TICKET (Porntep Laung-on)
17.IN FLAMES (Sita Lerdjarudech, Mahidol, documentary, A)
I wish that the film digs deeper into its story than this.
18.THE INTERCEPTION (Kanakorn Chanama, Mahidol, A+10)
This is not a complete film. It is like a pilot episode of a TV
series. But I think it is a successful pilot episode, because it really makes
me want to see the next episode.
19.KROMBIA (Aimee Provost)
20.MA MA GOR (Nattapol Paibulbaramee, Mahidol, B+ )
It the ending scene of this film had been edited out, I would have
given this film A+. The ending scene of this film is too didactic. It tells us
who is right and who is wrong, instead of showing us family problems which
cannot be solved that easily.
There are some films which show us conflicts between parents and
their offsprings which cannot be solved that easily, or problems which are real
dilemmas in which it is very hard to tell who is wrong or right. Films in this
category include FROM MOM (2005, Unchalee Thaingamsin, 13min, A+30).
Unfortunately, the ending scene of MA MA GOR makes the film unqualified for
this category.
21.9.2 (Satavat Satanbua)
22.NO LOVE LOST (Jomkwan Jaemjirasai, Mahidol, A-)
I would have liked it much more if this film had told its story
straightforwardly and made us sympathize with its characters. I think the film
tries too much to jump back and forth in time.
23.P.O.V. POINT OF VIEW (Praveena Danchaiviroj, animation, Mahidol,
A+)
I like the drawing, though the story is so-so.
24.RAWCHAREON VILLAGE (หมู่บ้านรอเจริญ) (Nawapol
Charoentummaruksa)
25.REVOLVER (Panakom Santayanon, Mahidol, A+15)
The film thrilled me a lot before it ended, because it inspired me
to imagine about a lot of bloodshed before it ended. When I was watching it, I
asked myself, “Will this film be like WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT KEVIN (2011, Lynn
Ramsay)? Will this film be like NOTHING CAN TOUCH ME (2011, Milad Alami)?”
If I had made this film, the film would have surely been nastier
than this, and the female teacher character would have done something
unforgettable in the film.
26.RUNNING TIME (Charmnanvudh Vancharoen)
27.STRANGE NIGHT (ราตรีประหลาด) (Opas
Kortsombut, Ladkrabang)
28.TO THE MOON (Chayanit Hansaward)
29.2YAM (สองยาม) (Apisit Kampeck + Sorasart
Wisetsin)
