Hiding from an unknown past, suicidal Japanese loner Kenji (Tadanobu Asano) seems destined for a premature rendezvous with oblivion when he meets Noi, a beautiful Thai party girl. Despite speaking different languages and barely able to communicate, Noi begins to seduce Kenji back into the chaos of life. Director Pen-ek Ratanaruangskilfully fuses a variety of genres to create a unique, dreamily stylish drama. Magnificently shot by acclaimed cinematographer Christopher Doyle (In The Mood For
Love), the film also features a superb performance from Zatoichi star Asano as Kenji and a memorable cameo by cult director Takashi Miike as a deranged
yakuza boss.
