Much more than just animation
Life, Kong Rithdee, Published on 03/02/2017
» One of the year's best animated movies didn't come from Pixar and Disney. It's this little-heralded film from Michael Dudok de Wit, a Dutchman picked by Studio Ghibli to helm its first international co-production. La Tortue Rouge (The Red Turtle), which doesn't have that many screenings left now (why?), is a calm, quietly touching beauty, a fable about man, nature, family, the environment -- I don't know, life itself. It has no dialogue, just the sounds of wind and waves, the storm and the sea. It's not going to win the Oscar, for which it has been nominated, but not winning an Oscar is probably an even higher honour a good film can hope for.
Colourful journey into Thailand's soul
Life, Kong Rithdee, Published on 20/01/2017
» The train clangs ahead, moving people and dreams, as it has done since 1893. In Railway Sleepers, a minutely observed film shot entirely on-board a Thai train, we see kids on school trips, young men travelling north and south, hawkers selling food and horoscope books, families and lovers, vacationers who turn the sleeping car into a party venue. They're passengers, and they're also humans. They are, as director Sompot Chidgasornpongse says, a collection of faces that make up a portrait of Thailand.

» [1] Moonlight. The life of Chiron, the young man who grows up in three distinct chapters in Barry Jenkins' masterpiece, is hard and full of pain. And yet Moonlight is so abundant with transcendent moments of grace and lyrical splendour. In the film's blue-tinged darkness shines a tortured soul, one of the most intimately and fully realised ones I can remember encountering in a movie.

Death becomes him
Life, Published on 04/12/2013
» For artist Shin Koyama, it is healthy to think about death every day. For his "Ero Guro Kawaii: Shin Koyama in Arita" ceramics exhibition at La Lanta Gallery, he has drawn from the morbidity and mortality in Japanese history and culture, but deals with the subject in the form of ridicule. The works are vibrant and dark, tragic and comic, cynical and hopeful.
