Ariztical Entertainment
has announced that Thai filmmaker Sarunya Noithai’s explosive tale of love, betrayal, tragedy and
heartbreak, She: Their Love Story, will be heading to the domestic DVD
market place on Sept. 30.
Don’t assume anything
going into this film. The Thai film
market is peppered with action films — and, quite frankly, the old chop-socky
mimicry of Hong Kong-based martial arts films has long-since past. Stories have improved, the acting has stepped-up
to international standards and budgets and technical aspects are now first
rate.
With that said, it was
just a matter of time before domestic filmmakers would begin to explore other
issues. Several of these are touched
upon here … some would have been taboo just a few short years ago.
The story revolves around
sisters Bua (Penpak Sirikul) and Da (Apassaporn Saengthong), the former being a
successful Bangkok-based publisher, while Da, her young sister works for her as
a writer. The catalyst for the screenplay
here begins with an indiscretion on the part of Da, who becomes the subject of
workplace ridicule when her former boyfriend spitefully circulates videos of
them having sex.
Meanwhile, Bua has a
secret that is driving her to divorce her husband … again, assume nothing!
Da, hurt and embraced,
decides to write a story about women, like herself, taking comfort with
sympathetic women of a somewhat different sexual persuasion. Her piece lurches forward in starts and stops,
but once she gets beyond her “cold feet,” she manages to find a relationship
with a woman named Be (Kitchya Kaesuwan).
Meanwhile, the secretive
Bau strikes up a professional relationship with a photographer named June (Ann
Siriwan Baker) and things quickly blossom into a relationship. But, it is not what it seems … that will be
revealed in the tragic third act.
She: Their Love Story combines beautiful locations with both sensual and
provocative storylines … technical aspects are all first rate. In Thai with English subtitles.
