Bangkok Time

Thailand 2007

Poster and details bangkokfilm

Seen 27 July 2007

Glimpses of the underbelly occupants of Bangkok. A male prostitute, a nurse who works on the graveyard shift and a struggling street peddler. We get snippets of their lives but no happy endings. Images, snatches of dialogue - that's what the audience see and hear. It might be the influence of MTV but there seems to be a lot of films using similar tactics in conveying their message. There are advantages as well as disadvantages in using this technique. It might not appeal to everyone.
