Drowned by a ripple

Aditya Assarat's début film 'Wonderful Town' is unusual, but there are aspects of it which left me puzzling as to what the director was trying to achieve. In the aftermath of the Asian tsunami quiet young architect seduces a shy hotel worker; it's sweetly observed, but hardly a dramatic story, and the role of the great flood is mainly to ensure that the tale can be told in an eerily empty landscape. The local youth dislike the visitor, however, and this provides a savage twist in the end; but even their hostility is vague, strangely noble and shown softly even when at it most horrific. More like a ripple than a wave, I didn't dislike this movie, but was hardly swept away.
