Title: sex + tragic = art
Review: What is erotic? What is tragic? Is there a difference? There are so many films that focus on sex and the seemingly inevitable disastrous outcome of having it that its remarkable anyone has anything else to say on the subject. Nonzee Nimibutr's film explores a multi-layered onion of sex, family, and above all, dysfunction. As with most foreign films, the tone is heavy and the sex seems even more seedy, depressing, and ultimately pathetic.This might be precisely the point Nimibutr wants to make with Jan Dara, but it is difficult to give much back as a viewer. Our main character is seen growing from child to man, played by different actors and therefore, we lose our connection with him. Ultimately, its simply sad and I kept waiting for it to end.
