Two Thai films to be shown at Cannes

Short article
on two Thai films to be screened
at Cannes: Blissfully Yours
by director Apichartpong Weerasethakul,
and Monrak Transistor by Pen-ek
Rattanaruang.... In fact,
it was only last year that Fah
Talai Jone, or Tears of the Black
Tiger, became the first Thai movie
to appear at the glittering Riviera
festival.
They're probably both good
films--Monrak flopped locally
and Blissfully Yours is
an independent production with
little hope of being distributed
in Thailand (theaters' schedules
here are tied up by big Hollywood
studios).
