Sa-nap

Centered on an Instagram-preoccupied 26-year-old whose reunion with high-school friends raises doubt about her upcoming marriage, this romantic drama represents another impressive achievement by leading indie writer-director Kongdej Jaturanrasmee. Setting his tale against the backdrop of Thailand's 2014 military coup, Jaturanrasamee has fashioned an absorbing study of young locals grappling with personal identity in an atmosphere of political instability and social disharmony. Forever posting bubbly messages and bright pictures of everywhere she visits and everything she's eating, Thai office worker Peung (Waruntorn Paonil) is at first glance the very picture of a happy millennial. With her wedding to a hunky military officer on the horizon, Peung seems to have everything in front of her. Away from emoticons and cheery hashtags, it's a different story, suggesting how creating a social-media personality doesn't always match real life. (Karlovy Vary International Film Festival)
