Life, Tatat Bunnag, Published on 29/03/2024
» Despite initial disappointment and a lukewarm box office reception, the 1989 classic Road House has become a cult favourite over the years. Fast forward to 2024, and director Doug Liman hopes to recreate the same blend of absurd action and charismatic heroism with a revamped version of Road House featuring Jake Gyllenhaal in the lead role (originally portrayed by the late Patrick Swayze). While Liman's adaptation retains the over-the-top spirit, it struggles to capture the same magic that made the original a cult classic.
Marina's soul searching in Bangkok
Life, Kong Rithdee, Published on 13/10/2023
» Like Dante guided by Virgil, Marina Abramovic drifts through the purgatory that is Bangkok chaperoned by the little monkey prince. After praying at shrines and temples of assorted spiritual inclinations, she is taken to the Monkey King (Pichet Klunchun), whose rhymed, melodic prophecy finally guides Abramovic to the prayer hall of Wat Pho where her salvation awaits clad in a saffron robe.

The evolution of khon
Life, Amitha Amranand, Published on 22/04/2021
» Choreographer Jitti Chompee's ongoing khon project, which includes Melancholy Of Demon, a dance performance that I reviewed earlier this month, is supported by the Ministry of Culture and departments and offices under its umbrella. This is a surprising level of governmental support granted to a contemporary dance artist who wants to do not-so-genteel things with khon and the character of Tossakan. I still remember how in 2006 the Ministry of Culture reportedly forced Somtow Sucharitkul to change the scene in his opera Ayodhya that depicted the death of Tossakan (Ravan in the opera version) onstage, a practice that is considered a bad omen in Thailand.
