Last Life in the Universe 2003
- Director: Pen-Ek Ratanaruang
- Based on the novel: no
- Cast: Tadanobu Asano, Sinitta Boonyasak
- Personal “oh yeah him/her” reaction, i.e. have seen this actor in:
- Tadanobu Asano Thor
- Why? It sounded good
- Seen: 3 April 2022
Kenji (Asano) is a young man who fantasises about suicide. He’s obsessively
compulsive and an obsessive book collector, Japanese but living in Bangkok. Two
tragic events bring free-spirit Noi (Boonyasak) into his life.
There is a very fine line between artistic intellectual, symbolic, existential films that grip your heart and provoke your thoughts, and those who leave you unmoved. Sadly, this is of the latter category. It got great reviews but it’s not for me. A pity. I so wanted to like it.
