Review of Sayew

Sayew (2003)
7/10
Innocent girl writes column for porn magazine and finds love
7 February 2006
Part of the renaissance of Thai film. This one concerns a sexually confused young woman who writes a column for a pornographic magazine. She has no experience so she explores the lives of those around her. In the meantime she develops a crush on a female acquaintance but eventually realises her true love (male)is under her nose. This is not, however, a film about heterosexuality v. homosexuality but rather about one person's experience.

A low-key film like 'Cherm', (Jaturanrasamee's later film), this one is sentimental but doesn't rely on slapstick or mugging and is much the better for it. Like 'Cherm' there seems to be some problem finding an ending that satisfies.

The DVD has English subtitles making it a good choice for English speakers developing an interest in recent Thai films.
