| River of Exploding Durians Q and A |
After a film festival event…
Possum: Photography stunning.
Kudos for the DP Kong Pahurak. Location exotic. Great Q and A with very capable
interpreting. What’s not to like?
Ned: Well, some scenes too
drawn out, character changes sudden, inconsistent, unexplained, for example
when Teacher Lim suddenly switches from being a capable, friendly history
teacher to tight-lipped terrorist.
Possum: The classroom
reenactments of karayuki and Thammasat U. massacre were good.
Ned: Ironic that the amateur
theatrics were more genuine than the movie scenes.
Possum: But you have to say,
for a first feature length film from a 30 something director, not bad.

Writer, director, editor
Edmund Yeo. Three hats?… Sometimes a great director can shine brighter if he
co-writes with a scriptwriter, and relinquishes narration pace, rhythm and
cutting to an editor.
