Aroview: Second feature film by the Thai writer-director Pen-Ek Ratanaruang (LAST LIFE IN THE UNIVERSE), following a woman who is laid off during the Asia financial crisis and decides to keep a mysterious box of money that has been left at her front door, which sets consequences in motion. Has the vibe of a Coen Brothers movie, with the compelling premise of an ordinary protagonist thrust suddenly into a world of violent crime.
