Khon Boys (2023)
A documentary recording the lives of Khon students in their last years of study. They spent six years under the rules of the military regime after the 2014 coup d’etat. The coup granted the regime power to change many things, especially education which became more focused on the monarchy and royal glorification instead of basic human values. While the world is becoming awakened to human rights, the military regime deems them against their own values. The shooting of the film began at the time of the king’s succession, shortly after which there was a great social awakening in Thailand. Meanwhile, the authorities used state violence and oppression in an effort to eliminate dissidents, even when they were just high school and university students.

Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.
Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
