Worst film at Cannes 2008

Pretentious piece of s##t with no redeeming quality at all!

Black and white, shows real life actions of no apparent intrigue, nothing happens worth mentioning, very little dialogue, cinematography that does not stand out as anything other than pretentious, acting is incomplete since they didn't do anything worth mentioning, and above all is the fact that the premiere showing with the director/writer in house started with twice as many audience members than it ended with.

Save your time, assuming of course that somehow this abomination gets distributed. I must say that it takes a truly evil skill to bore an audience as much as this worthless piece of crap did.

I totally agree. After seeing the cover of this film at the local video store, I thought maybe another interesting arty film like "The Elephant King". Unfortunately this was not the case , this film is so dreadful, a complete waste of 90minutes. Just from the DVD cover which a total lie. there are no scenes from the red light district Soi Cowboy, The main protagonist isn't on the cover at all, and the chap holding the gun only has a minor scene.
The Premise of this film is "oh look" here's a fat ugly western man who sleeps with a pregnant Thai lady, he gives her money and gifts, and she refuses sex with him. So why does the man stay with the lady, just for the company WTF! what utter utter tripe.
