» Jasmine, saffron robes and gay lovers converge in Malila: The Farewell Flower, starring Sukollawat "Weir" Kanarot, which opens this week in Thai cinemas after gaining rave reviews from several international film festivals. Directed by Anucha Boonyawatana, who previously helmed Onthakarn (Blue Hour), the drama weaves forlorn love and homoeroticism with Buddhist philosophy and traditional bai sri arts.
