  Comfort for the soul

  Life, Duangphat Sitthipat, Published on 05/02/2016

  » Dear readers, if you were born in 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986 or 1998 (the Year of the Tiger), read carefully. If you're looking forward to a rosy year ahead, you might be in for a major disappointment. Because 2016 is out to get you. If you scrape your car against a tree, get bitten by a dog, get pooped on the head by a pigeon, or end up on a delayed flight, remember that it might not be a pure coincidence. This year, for you, is filled with predestined mishaps.

  Room roams from director's tight rein

  Life, Kong Rithdee, Published on 05/02/2016

  » In Room, Brie Larson plays a mother who raises her five-year-old child in the confinement of a room after she has been kidnapped and locked up by a sex abuser. The scenario here is cinematic and psychological: the "room" represents the entire existence that the boy has known since birth, and the mother-son dynamic is regulated by the physical parameters of the place, which in turn define their perceptions of life. To everyone else, the room is prison. To the boy, it is the world.

  Say yes to Chilean film No

  » A film screening at the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre (BACC) tomorrow couldn't be more timely. In a week that speculation over the timeline of the referendum on our draft charter has made several headlines, a movie about a referendum that will make or break a government arrives like serendipity. (It could be an omen, but let's not be cynical.)

  A beautiful, windswept shell

  » The bookies have been busy calculating. Will Alejandro González Iñárritu win the Oscar for the second year in a row? I seriously hope not (I had hoped he wouldn't win last year either). For this skilled director, the importance of being earnest is always taken to the extreme, and I could imagine him skinning a live badger (why not a bear) with the same unblinking earnestness and Oscar-worthy sombreness as when he's making The Revenant. This is a narrative borrowed from the old American myth, so there are white settlers and colonial swagger, and there are the victimised and vengeful natives, including one noble savage who, in the middle of a murderous blizzard, constructs an outdoor spa for Leonardo DiCaprio, our revenant of the story.
