WONDERFUL TOWN

Director Aditya Assarat / 2007 / Thailand

<p><strong>“An elegant combo of slow-burn romance and social realism&hellip; <em>Wonderful Town</em> reaches deeply into the hearts and minds of people struggling to rebuild themselves long after the physical shockwaves have subsided.” - <em>Variety</em></strong><br /><br />A Bangkok architect travels to a coastal town in the south of Thailand to supervise the rebuilding of a hotel in the aftermath of the 2004 tsunami. Slowly, and with trepidation, he falls for the owner, amid the cheerless surroundings of a once bustling tourist area, something beautiful and delicate blooms. But in a town still smarting from the wounds of its loss, not everyone shares their joy.<br /><br />Winner of the Tiger Award at this year's Rotterdam International Film Festival. <br /><br />Director Aditya Assarat is a guest of the festival.<br />
