Romance films will be featured in what's now the closing program of the the Week of Siam series at House cinema on Royal City Avenue in Bangkok.

Starting today, six films are featured in the "Way Back Into Love" program:

  • Work and Marriage (Taeng gaap ngaan, แต่งกับงาน), directed by Pairat Kasiwat, 1982
  • The Seagull (Nang nuan, นางนวล), directed by ML Bhanddevanop Devakul, 1987
  • If You Still Love Me (Taa ter yang mee rak, ถ้าเธอยังมีรัก), directed by MC Chatrichalerm Yukol, 1981
  • Plough In (Roi tai,รอยไถ, directed by Amnuay "Khru Neramit" Kalasnimi, 1980
  • Miracle of Love (Mahatjan haeng rak, มหัศจรรย์แห่งรัก), directed by ML Bhanddevanop Devakul, 1995
  • Sunset at Chao Praya 2 (Koo kam 2, คู่กรรม 2, directed by Ajaan Banjong Kosanwat, 1996

And here is the schedule from the House blog:

Thursday, July 23
  • 13.00 - The Seagull
  • 16.00 - Miracle of Love
  • 19.00 - If You Still Love Me (film)

Friday, July 24
  • 13.00 - Song of Chao Phraya 2
  • 16.00 - Work and Marriage
  • 19.00 - Plough In

Saturday, July 25
  • 13.00 - Miracle of Love
  • 16.00 - If You Still Love Me (film)
  • 19.00 - The Seagull

Sunday, July 26
  • 13.00 - Work and Marriage
  • 16.00 - Plough In
  • 19.00 - Song of Chao Phraya 2

Monday, July 27
  • 13.00 - If You Still Love Me (film)
  • 16.00 - The Seagull
  • 19.00 - Miracle of Love

Tuesday, July 28
  • 13.00 - Plough In
  • 16.00 - Song of Chao Phraya 2
  • 16.00 - Work and Marriage

Wednesday, July 29
  • 13.00 - Miracle of Love
  • 16.00 - Plough In
  • 19.00 - If You Still Love Me (film)

None will have English subtitles. The only actual film unspooling will be Chatrichalerm's If You Still Love Me, which has been issued on English-subbed DVD by Mangpong and can probably still found by digging around in the bargain bins or scouring the lower shelves. The other movies being shown at House are on digital media of some form, probably VCD.

House was to have continued the Week of Siam series for one more month, wrapping up at the end of August with "A Tribute to Sinjai Plengpanich", but those plans fell through because of problems with the film distributors. However, House still plans to show The Love of Siam sometime in September.

Sorapong Chatree has acted in hundreds of films, including most of the early works of MC Chatrichalerm Yukol, as well as films by Cherd Songsri. Sorapong was most recently in Ong-Bak 2 and Queens of Langkasuka. He's a devout Buddhist and has been raising funds to build that temple for many years.

Poster looks so romantic.

Last year while visiting a very big Wat on Hwy #2 about 35km northeast of Pak-chong, I saw the leading actor in the poster soliciting funds for a completion of the wat. He is a good man, I think. But I don't remember seeing his works on the film.
