Citizen Dog (2004)

Anyone who has seen the Thai film "Tears of the Black Tiger" (2000) will sort of know what to expect from the director's second film: brilliantly-bright pastel colours, clever use of local pop music, and a sweet and naive storyline.  You would be right but still fall short of anticipating the strange visuals and weird magic realism of the tale.  A gormless country boy goes to the big city where he takes a variety of jobs and tries to woo an obsessed cleaning lady; but he loses her when she becomes an eco-warrior amassing a mountain of plastic bottles.  It ends happily because he hasn't grown a tail -- see the film and you'll know what I mean.  And those are only two of the strange characters we meet.  It all leaves the viewer with a big fat smile and you don't get many of those to the pound.
