This sweeping romance — ideal for summer — is full of nostalgia, surprise, and fabulous music. On its face, the perfect romantic comedy and underneath the surface a meeting of some of the sexiest, darkest, most complicated characters of the year, One for the Road was recognized with a Special Jury Prize for Creative Vision at the 2021 Sundance Film Festival. Best friends on a road trip travel down memory lane throughout Thailand, but as they try and tie up loose ends, more and more of their intertwined stories come loose. With a perfectly balanced mix of the sorrow, joy, nostalgia, and love you would expect in a film produced by Wong Kar Wai, ONE FOR THE ROAD is a cinematic treat, much like the mouth-watering cocktails that are highlighted throughout. Breakthrough performances from Tor Thanapob, Ice Natara, and Violette Wautier, along with gorgeous and energetic direction from Baz Poonpiriya, take us through the emotionally wrought yet hopeful time between the flower of youth and the hard-earned realization that all things end.
