MAH NAKORN
CITIZEN DOG
Citizen Dog retains many of the colourful stylistic touches from Tears of the Black Tiger, but locates itself in a very different environment modern day Bangkok. The protagonist is Pod, a shy country boy determined to make his way in the big city. Finding work in Bangkok proves easy enough, but while working at a sardine cannery, Pod unfortunately cuts off his finger. Traipsing around the city trying to locate the tin of sardines which contains his missing finger is just the start of Pods fabulous adventure. The visual style of Tears of the Black Tiger was achieved largely through the use of painted scenery. Filming on location in Bangkok denies Wisit this luxury, so this time the director has chosen to use a range of digital effects to achieve the signature visual style of the earlier film. Citizen Dogs charm lies in its relaxed, ironic yet optimistic mood and its genial lack of self-importance. (Robert Williamson)
