LIGHT CAMERA ACTION
By Andy 13/3/2008
Laos is well known for its
relaxing atmosphere, unspoilt nature, refreshing and its friendly people.
Watching movie is for leisure especially if movie is made in Laos.
It will probably best describe as relaxing as it can be.
“Sabaidee Luang Prabang” is a new movie shoot entirely in the
land of million elephants. It
sets to release around Lao New Year, famously known as Pimay Lao.
That will be in April.
Sabaidee
Laung Prabang is the first ever movie funded by private companies from
Thailand and Laos. Sparta is a
Thai company and Lao Art Media is one of major record companies in Laos.
The leading roles play by famous movie star Thai born Lao-Australian
actor, Ananda Everingham and a Lao well-known beauty queen runner-up Khamlek
Phalavong.
A love story about a young
photojournalist from Australia who bases in Bangkok assigns to do field work
in his fatherland. Sone plays
by Ananda takes this as an opportunity to rediscover his own root, the land
where his father is from. Story
begins when he hires Noy plays by Khamlek as a tour guide.
Clumsy as she is they travel across Laos.
On the road as Ananda falls in love with his fatherland, his feeling
for Noy also grows.
The cinematography in this movie
would capture perfect breathing sceneries through out the land of million
elephants as they travel from north to south.
This movie will surely give you new perspectives of Laos.
It co-directs and eye on international audience.
Since there are limited number of films coming out of Laos so see it
for yourselves if Thai & Lao have done tremulously wonderful job in this
film, definitely a must see!
