JAN DARA - THE BEGINNING

There are 2 parts to the movie, based on a well-known and controversial thai literacy work written back in the conservative 60s, and this is the first.

Mario Mauer was the lead as Jan Dara, Sakarat Ritthumrong as his father, Rhatha Phongam as Boonlueang and Chaiyapol Julien Pupart as his servant buddy Ken. 

I don't even know how to describe this movie but the following link gave an excellent account of the movie:

There were quite a bit of sex and boobs scenes but I was hardly surprised considering it was promoted for its explicit sexual content. Overall, I am not particularly thrilled by the movie although I do look forward to the second part to complete the story.
