Review: Nang Nak


     With foreign films it's often the case that something gets lost in translation, but a great story is able to find its way through all of that. Nang Nak is a 1999 romance tragedy/horror film from Thailand, which I went into with low expectations. Films from that part of the world have a reputation for being low quality when it comes to plot and dialog, but with rich cinematography. While much of this is true for Nang Nak, it did exceed my expectations as its wonderful plot was able to get through the cultural differences and poor dialog.
