Pod, a shy country bumpkin, is warned by his grandma that he will grow a tail if he lands a job in Bangkok. Instead, Pod loses a finger in a sardine tin assembly line in a manically staged nod to Charlie Chaplin’s Modern Times. He opts for a safer occupation as a security guard and meets Jin, an obsessive compulsive maid. He is smitten, and in his efforts to get closer to the oblivious object of his affection, Pod makes his way through Bangkok’s brightly coloured jungle, where even the most mundane event can be one of enchantment and excitement.
This is the second feature by Wisit Sasanatieng, director of the acclaimed TEARS OF A BLACK TIGER. Narrated by Pen-ek Ratanarung, the director of LAST LIFE IN THE UNIVERSE, CITIZEN DOG is lovingly crafted with characteristic Thai cinematic excess that reaffirms Sasanatieng’s place at the forefront of the Thai New Wave. – excerpted from the Toronto International Film Festival
