Jacques Tati in Monsieur Hulot's Holiday (1953)
Invisible Waves
Jacques Tati in Monsieur Hulot's Holiday (1953)
Screened at the Berlin International Film Festival

BERLIN -- If Jacques Tati, the French comic absurdist, had ever made a gangster thriller, it probably would have looked like Pen-Ek Ratanaruang's "Invisible Waves". Much of the movie is given over to comic bliss in which the protagonist, played by Japanese star Asano Tadanobu, is assailed by minor indignities and malfunctioning amenities aboard a ship. Guns do go off and people die, but Pen-Ek de-emphasizes the thrills in favor of an existential slapstick. The film should make waves on the festival circuit before specialty pickups.

The movie starts out more in a thriller mode, albeit obliquely. Kyoji Asano), a Japanese ex-pat, lives in the former Portuguese enclave of Macau and takes the ferry daily to Hong Kong, where he works as a chef's assistant. One night his lover drops by for a romantic dinner. The lover (Kuga Tomono), who happens to be his boss' wife, dies immediately after a meal laced with poison. Turns out his boss (Thai star Toon Hiranyasup) has learned of the affair and forced his cook to kill a wife he now considers an inconvenience.

The deed has made Kyoji so mentally and physically ill that the boss presents him with a pleasure cruise to the Thai island resort of Phuket. Once aboard ship, the fun starts. Kyoji's luxurious stateroom turns out to be a room the size of a locker next to the noisy engine with mysterious steam seeping through an opening. A pull-down bed jerks right back up, the shower and wash basin squirt water unexpectedly, and one day he gets locked in the room and can't get out.

He meets a mysterious woman named Noi (rising Korean actress Gang Hye Jung). She has a baby but is vague about the identity or whereabouts of the father. She also possesses an ironic, almost flirtatious manner that intrigues Kyoji. Meanwhile, a mysterious man (Mitsuishi Ken) in a tropical shirt is shadowing Kyoji throughout the voyage.

Once in Phuket, strange things continue to befall the hapless chef. The most unfortunate is a robbery at his hotel that leaves him broke. He is forced to call his boss, who promises to help. The mysterious stranger now reveals himself as a karaoke-loving hit man employed by the boss. Kyoji quickly realizes the boss wants to eliminate him.

There's a bit of chasing and shooting in Phuket before the final reels back in Hong Kong and Macau. Alas, these sequences don't live up to the delightful, often perplexing comic rifts that brought us to this showdown. Perhaps too much philosophy and not enough slapstick absurdity dominate the ending.

Nevertheless, "Invisible Waves" is yet another example of the creative forces at work in pan-Asian cinema, which plucks locations and actors from any number of territories. Asano makes a wonderful Keaton-esque clown, struggling helplessly but without losing his cool against a universe conspiring to thwart him. Still sickened by his deed -- the chef throws up every so often -- Kyoji doesn't know whether he seeks revenge or redemption.

Gang gives the heroine a beguiling innocence tinged with sage knowingness. Hiranyasup brings a light touch to the gangster-restaurant owner. Mitsuishi's weary exterminating angel is only happy when he is singing. And singer-actress Maria Cordero as Kyoji's landlady acts as a kind of Greek chorus, offering up Old World/New Age wisdom.

The great pan-Asian cinematographer Christopher Doyle shot the film, working in unusual palettes, making the ship interiors fluorescent green, Hong Kong glumly overcast and even finding darkness in the paradise that is Phuket.
