Ploy!!

'Ploy', a 2007 movie from Thailand directed by Pen-Ek Ratanaruang is beautiful, intense, dramatic, almost silent; yet cinematic with it's calm intriguing way of story telling. Movie is revolved around reality and dreams and some times, the layer between these two seems to be so thin that you get confused about the whole thing. May be this element is what giving the movie a surrealistic charm. You are already through a good sequence of detailed visuals only to realise that the entire sequence was a dream that one of those characters had. It reminded me of  Luis Bunuel's 'The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie' . Wiki article on the movie has a detailed plot which I think is not accurate; Plot cannot be explained in a direct manner with a so called 'spiler alert'  as the director wants you to choose a certain event as real or unreal at times. I think this flexibility in interpreting the movie opens a great window for a fresh cinematic experience every time you watch it. Ploy is a teen aged girl who happens to cross her path with a couple Wit and Dang who seems to be going through a seventh year itch. The entire movie is about one night in their life in a hotel room in Bangkok where Ploy joins them; Movie unfolds through the suspicions, and restlessness her visit creates among the couple, and also through the dreams and nightmares each one of them get. There are three to four other characters which thickens the plot in an indirect manner. Ploy cannot be explained, it has to be felt.
