'My new movie? I think it's a romantic comedy," jokingly answered Pen-ek Ratanaruang, the renowned director, when asked to describe his new film Morte Cucina (Khrua Sao).
"It is a romance film that talks about love, though it might be a bit of a strange one. Anyone who watches it will see that it is highly romantic and very much a black comedy. It is a story about the power of food and how it is used to win someone's heart."
Morte Cucina is a story of revenge through cooking, marking Pen-ek's return to feature films after spending the past two years directing 6ixtynin9 The Series for Netflix.
