Story :

Keng (Banlop Lomnoi) is a soldier who has been assigned duty as a forest ranger in the woodlands of the country. While on duty, he meets a young man named Tong (Sakda Kaewbuadee) ; Keng becomes deeply infatuated with Tong, but while Tong is friendly with Keng, he is obviously unwilling to respond to his romantic overtures. As Keng deals with his disappointment, he learns that a number of animals and villagers have fallen victim to a vicious predator who may be a tiger or a shape-shifting shaman. Keng gathers his courage and begins tracking the beast, which alternately resembles a jungle cat and his friend Tong.

Amazing movie
Reviewer : Alberto Vazquez
From : Spain

This is an unique and smart movie alternating a beautiful love story and separate flashing scenes from thai reality. Brilliant and sensuous without explicit sex as used to be homo movies in order to equal hetero scenes. Apitchapong Joey deserves a worldwide high rank in talented directors.

Unique Movie
Reviewer : best-thai-movies.com
From : Sydney - Australia

I agree with Net reviews, this movie is visually beautiful and moving. The unique and unexpected ending employs artistic license at it's best.

Arguably the world's greatest movie of this decade
Reviewer : Mike
From : Portland, Maine, USA

I want everyone to see this eerie, romantic, enigmatic, very emotionally powerful movie. The first half is comparatively light and funny, and the second half is amazingly unique. Apichatpong Weerasethakul will go down in history alongside Dreyer and Vigo as one of the world's greatest movie directors, and Tropical Malady is his finest achievement to date.
