Fantastic Fest 1
Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008Here are the films I saw here yesterday:
Muay Thai Chaiya
A story of good versus evil in the Bangkok Muay Thai (Thai kickboxing) scene, very bloodthirsty. Looking at the subtitles while avoiding looking at the gross bits was a challenge. About young men being exploited by organised crime in underground fighting dens, with a central dilemma [...]
