(2007) Love of Siam












A multi-layered family drama, a groundbreaking film which is a gay romance between two teenage boys namely Mew (Witwisit Hiranyawongkul) and Tong (Mario Maurer). It was released in Thailand on 22 November 2007. The fact that the gay storyline was not apparent from the film's promotional material initially caused controversy, but the film was received with critical acclaim and proved financially successful. It dominated Thailand's 2007 film awards season, winning the Best Picture category in all major events. The two teenage boys in the story showed some kissing scenes that brought the movie some controversy but did;t stop the movie for recieving such awards and appreciations not just in Thailand also to other Asian countries. This movie is a must see film.
