Ploy

Thailand 2007

Poster and details wikipedia

Seen 16 June 2007

The word ploy can be a play on words in English but in Thai it is just a name. The girl of the film's title, Ploy is the catalyst or trigger to events in a relationship that has lost its lustre. As a contrast, the director also shows the intimately sexual, lascivious love making between a chambermaid and a bartender. There is a happy ending but the journey towards that end met a lot of obstacles. Determination and a realisation that what we already have is worth fighting for seems to be the message.
