Nang Nak

Thailand

Film based on a traditional Thai legend. A husband and wife are separated by war. When he returns to resume their life together things are a bit strange. A friend tells him that his wife died in childbirth while he was away. Odd signs and symbols begin to appear.

Sumptuously shot along a jungle canal. Supernatural scenes used rapid editing and other-worldly music. Imaginative cine made up for the crude acting technique. This became worth it as anthro more than world-class cinema. Still, it held me all the way.
