Niche filmmaker Nawapol "Ter" Thamrongrattanarit has a great knack for making small and simple stories into big ones. Most of Nawapol's movies revolve around the daily lives of people in the big city. In 2015, Nawapol defined his first major studio film Heart Attack as "a routine life of a freelance graphic designer". Or Happy Old Year, a high drama film from 2019 in which he simply replied in an interview: "A story about home reorganisation." But most Nawapol fans know that those movies are more profound than the simple definition of the director.
And again with his latest movie Fast And Feel Love, which premiered in Thai cinemas last week, Nawapol described it as his "very first action film", and is based on the daily life of people aged 30-plus. It's clearly a comedy. Even the title and its font obviously poke fun at a Hollywood blockbuster: Fast And Feel Love (Fast And Furious, get it?).
