Thanks to its lively and quirky social commentary, A Useful Ghost by Thai director Ratchapoom Boonbunchachoke won the Critics’ Week Grand Prize at the Cannes Film Festival this week. It was the first time in ten years that Thailand has been represented at the event.
For his first feature-length film, Ratchapoom Bookbunchachoke relies on ghosts who contact humans to comment on several societal and environmental issues – such as deadly air pollution in Bangkok.
