The 14th World Film Festival of Bangkok (เทศกาลภาพยนตร์โลกแห่งกรุงเทพฯ ครั้งที่ 14) opens today, and runs until 1st February. (It was originally scheduled for 3rd to 11th November last year, though it was postponed due to the mourning period following the death of Rama IX.) Like the 11th, 12th, and 13th festivals, this year’s event will be held at CentralWorld’s SF World cinema. (The 6th, 7th, and 8th festivals were held at Paragon Cineplex; the 5th, 9th, and 10th took place at Esplanade Cineplex.)
One of the highlights this year will be the Taiwanese classic Dragon Gate Inn (龍門客棧) from 1967. Directed by King Hu, it set the benchmark for the modern wuxia action movie.
