Entries on 3 Thai Films
These entries discuss three recent Thai films centered on the legendary Thai ghost Mae Nak, the spirit of a woman who died in childbirth, but returns to the world of the living to be with her husband. Nang Nak (1999), Nak (2008), and Pee Mak (2013) are each described with reference to their thematic resonances and their importance to Thai film history. Thai Cinema: The Complete Guide is the first English-language book to be devoted solely to the topic of Thai cinema, which has revived and gained new world-wide recognition since the late 1990s.
