邊界

Boundary

2010年，導演Nontawat遇見了來自泰柬邊界四色菊府的少年敖。敖多年前離家入伍，駐軍於暴動頻傳的南方地區。2012年，Nontawat追隨敖的腳步回到家鄉。此際，泰柬邊境緊張關係一觸即發，被列為世界文化遺產的當地古廟Preah Vihear Temple，長年以來即是兩國主權爭奪的焦點。而今，國內紅衫軍與黃衫軍的衝突越加增溫，再度喚醒了沉睡的歷史傷痕，邊界戰爭一觸即發......。Nontawat曾參與導演阿比查邦劇組工作，風格亦受其啟發與影響，本片是他的第一部紀錄作品，旋即入圍各大國際影展。

 

This film looks at the violent border dispute between Thailand and Cambodia over the Preah Vihear Hindu temple, which is more than 1,000 years old and has been named a UNCESCO World Heritage site. By focusing on the ordinary lives of both Cambodian and Thai locals in the area, such as the 24-year-old laborer and former soldier "Aod," the director seeks to understand the dispute over the temple. Because it focuses on Aod and includes footage from the "Red Shirt" political protests in 2010, "Boundary" was banned by the Thai government — a rare action that underlined the sensitivity of the issue.
