(FAH TALAI JONE, Wisit Sasanatieng, Thailand 2000, 113 min., Thai/subtitles)
A handsome yet shy bandit falls hard for a high-society beauty, but her father and his gang members make the road to true love a rocky one. A visual dazzler with its striking saturated colors, this highly entertaining Thai Western/musical/melodrama is one of the most original movies of the decade.
