This is the fourth feature by Parm Rangsi, who has been actively making films since displaying his talent in shorts. Fah used to be a film director, but left the industry after arguing with a producer. He tries his hand at street performance in a bid for more fame but that fails, and now he is a loser nobody recognizes. He tries to find his way back to the stage with help from a former fan, Toh. Nevertheless, most pub owners in Bangkok don’t like his attitude and don’t want to provide any opportunities for a show. Although he needs money so as not to get evicted rather than verbal cheering, the only one who warms his heart is his lovely seven-year-old daughter Gam. Fah-Gam-Toh sends its messages through its atmosphere, with music and images instead of closely woven narrative. These are universal messages, like affection between father and daughter and artists’ livelihood issues. The film emphasizes the strength of positivity in living for today rather than being obsessed with money, fame or the past. (PARK Sungho)
