Title: SONGYOS SUGMAKANAN, OPUS 2
Review: **** 2006. Written and directed by the Thai director Songyos Sugmakanan. Two prizes in Berlin. A young student is sent to a new school by his parents. He soon understands that the only kid he gets along well with there is in fact the ghost of a student who drowned in the school's swimming pool. I liked a lot this film which reminded me at times the best ghost movie I've seen so far that is to say Jack Clayton'sThe Innocents. The director is obviously a sentient being who manages to translate the sad feelings and the melancholy of a child lost in an unknown environment. Besides, in the interviews he gave to the press, Songyos Sugmakanan freely aknowledged that his film was in part autobiographical. Highly recommended.
