  • Bangkok Dangerous (1999) - Oxide Pang Chun; Danny Pang
    - This fiercely assured first feature film marks the emergence of not only its twin directors but of their country, Thailand. Beautifully crafted, with a deft eye on the sights and sounds of Bangkok, the film shows a love and appreciation of the poetics of cinema, and of violence.
