Program Note

The film began with the book [On the Road, Khaosan Road], which director Kim Beomsam encountered by chance. After reading the book and visiting Thailand for the first time, he finally presents a film On the Road, Khaosan Tango, which he had been preparing for 10 years. A man obsessed with the past and a woman living the present, they all have a painful past and memories in the film, in which tango melody is being played always. Including Piazzolla's “Invierno Porteno,” The beautiful variations played by “La Ventana” comfort the characters with tango sensibility. Like “Invierno Porteno,” a story full of emotions like loss, joy, sadness, solitude and relaxation, the film weaves a narrative of emotion, relaxed against the sweet and bitter loss, in a beautiful exotic landscape.
