A new film has taken inspiration for its main character form Marc Asnin’s long-term photo series “Uncle Charlie”.
“The genesis of “Tony Manero” can be traced to a book of photographs Mr. Larraín, 32, stumbled across in a museum gift shop in Spain a couple of years ago. One image especially fascinated him: that of a gaunt, tattooed man sitting in a chair and staring blankly out a window, a cigarette in one hand and a revolver in the other.
Back home in Santiago, Mr. Larraín showed the picture to Mr. Castro, who quickly agreed to join Mr. Larraín in elaborating a story for the man.”
“Elephants, revered symbols of Thailand’s glorified past, have long walked side by side with the monarchy and common farmers alike. The indispensable role of elephants in Thai society has been captured in countless tales and works of art along temple walls. More recently, elephants have been represented as cultural icons and used in the commercial branding of countless products. One would be hard pressed to look in any direction in the capital and not find an elephant motif somewhere. But for all the iconic representations of elephants as symbols of strength, dignity and prosperity, in reality the only elephants seen in Bangkok are those being led by their mahouts, wandering the congested streets begging.”
