This movie is way underrated.



This movie redefined dark comedy genre. This is one of the best dark comedy film I've seen since.....I don't remember. The script was well written, Lalita Panyopas was excellent and every little detail are creatively thought out even little thing that isn't really relevant to the story.

When the remake release ( damn those remakes!!!), which I don't really care for. Hopefully people would appreciate this film a lot more as for now not eveyone have heard or knew about this film.

They actually managed to make an adult themed movie without packing it full of sex and profanity. One that is a delight.

Beyond the main plot, the side characters are entertaining in and of themselves.

Overall I thought it was excellent.

Loved this movie. I don't think it was so much underrated as it was under-viewed though.

But after seeing this and "Last Life in the Universe," I really need to get a copy of Monrak Transistor. I totally dig Pen-Ek.

yeah, i saw last life first because it was available really easily before i ever saw 69 and it seemed interesting (i was also a huge asano and chris doyle fan at the time), and since i loved the writing and direction (as well as the acting and cinematography) i wanted to see this
i loved it as well
makes me really wanna see invisible waves, fun bar karaoke and monrak transistor

I very much disliked "Last Life" and felt "Ruang Talok Sip Gao" redeemed the director in my eyes. Although it wasn't so much his direction, but the screenplay of "Last life" which I found so unengaging, if not yawn worthy; and was ultimately very overrated. I definitely would agree, though, that this movie is very good, inspired and definitely underrated. Perhaps the day will soon come when the hollywood muppets wake up to the story and regurgitate accordingly.

Yeah, definitely one of the best dark comedies out there. It should be much more popular than it is.

Reminded me alot of Skip Woods "Thursday"

Great movie, lots of plots and twists. Saw it for the first time yesterday and simply loved it. Unfortunately the lead actress doesn't have many other claims to fame.
