Sometime ago I posted about this film-felt it was good viewing. English sub-titles. Totally Thai production and actors. Not a Hollywood movie-altho the guy that did the 'Godfather' (think it's him) is maybe doing a bit of reshooting and editing for world release. When? The reason for this post is the CD, Tape, and DVD releases are on sale here in Thailand, so those that want it get in touch with somebody that has relations or such in Thailand and make arrangements. Sorry I can't do it-money transferring would be near impossible. Price for DVD (2 Disks) is 800 Baht (40B+US$1), not sure of the other prices. Surlyothal The film centres on the life of the heroine, Suriyothai, the queen of King Mahachakrapat, whose life from the age of 15, went through dramatic changes rangingfrom lov@ and attachment, marriage, resettlement in the capital Ayutthaya, court life, and intrigue. Suriyothai is also a colourful tapestry of former Siam covering the lives of both the high and low, and the ancient traditions in the Ayuthaya period during a time of peace and war, Changes resulting from successions to the throne reflect the true nature of human beings with their strengths and weaknessess, nobility, ambition, struggle for power, sacrifice, and survival.
