Headshot (2011 film)

Based on the novel Rain Falling Up the Sky by Win Lyovarin,[2] the film stars Nopachai Chaiyanam [th], Sirin Horwang, Chanokporn Sayoungkul, and Apisit Opasaimlikit.The film was selected as the Thai entry for the Best Foreign Language Oscar at the 85th Academy Awards, but did not make the final shortlist.[3] A cop-turned-hitman is struck in the head by a bullet, inverting his vision and causing him to see the world upside down.Rob Nelson of Variety called the film "convoluted" and referred to "the upside-down point-of-view shots" as "gimmicky", and wrote that "the pic's pleasures remain almost solely in the cinematographic realm."[2] Marc Savlov of The Austin Chronicle called the film "gorgeous to look at" and praised it for "[reinventing] the standard noir tropes", though he indicated a preference for Last Life in the Universe, a previous effort by director Ratanaruang.
