First Trailer For Pen-Ek Ratanaruang's NYMPH

by Todd Brown, June 3, 2009 11:32 PM

Much loved in these parts, Thai director Pen-Ek Ratanaruang has been a great favorite since we first came across Last Life In The Universe several years back - a discovery that sent us back farther into his back catalog and broader into Thai film as a whole. We've been tracking the progress of his latest - supernaturally tinged drama Nymph for quite a while and while the film itself premiered at Cannes there has been nothing publicly available - other than a pirated version of the sales reel - until just now.

The film apparently exists in two distinct versions: the arthouse cut that screened in Cannes and a more commercial and horror tinged version prepared for theatrical release in Thailand. This trailer belongs to the latter version. Check it out below the break!

Wonder if the Thai version would have played better in Cannes?

Definitely interested in seeing this and the visuals are stunning. Chamnivikaipong seems to be almost on par with Doyle here. ..but this particular trailer seems to cast the film way too far into generic horror-fare. Its even got that heavy bassy beat and rapid editing going on.....

It kind of did make it seem like a straight up horror film, but this is something I'm very interested in seeing.

Hopefully it'll actually get an english subbed dvd release - Ploy is yet to materialize...
