Program Note
Inheriting the name of legendary Thai comedian, Tock is the heir of the third generation comedian family. However, he is born with tragic fate that he is not funny and he has to yield his position at the comedy troop to his sister. Yet, there comes a beautiful dermatologist who laughs at his jokes. Now, Tock wants to reborn as a great comedian to have her heart. The Little Comedian is a typical growing-up film. Questioning his identity, conflict with family and the unrequited first love are all in the same pot. Yet, Tock is not the only one who needs to grow-up. Losing its space due to the social change, the traditional Thai comedy performing culture should endure the pain of growing-up. Also the dermatologist needs to overcome the sorrowful love affair. Realizing the pain of his father and his beloved doctor, Tock steps into the adulthood. This delightful film reminds that the growing-up after all is not achieved by oneself but by understanding and loving each other. (CHO Young-jung)
