The movie “Stand by Me”, with its rich blend of melancholy and nostalgia for childhood, has come to Bangkok screens for the first time at House Samyan theatre.
The much beloved coming-of-age story set in the 1950s made its screen debut in 1986. It was directed by Rob Reiner, whose tragic death last December was mourned by many fans who are passionate about his iconic films.
The tale of four boys on a trip to look for a dead body they had heard about has been praised for its honest portrayal of childhood friendship and the bittersweet transition to adulthood.
