Beautifully shot and wonderfully entertaining.

I quite enjoyed watching Full Moon Party on an imported DVD from Thailand. I was surprised to see independent film director and movie star, Jonathan Morrill (The Left Side of My Brain, The Brides of Johnny in Monsterland) make a cameo appearance in the film eating grasshoppers! That is just one more little accolade to this truely unique film, which tells the tale of the annual full moon party, and the celebration of the illusive payanak. The director of photography was certainly on top of his craft, as one capitivating scene is followed continuously by another. Funny, spiritual, and universally humanistic, this wonderful film is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED VIEWING for anyone who has a heart and a conscience. Congratulations to the cast and crew of this artful, insightful, and just plain entertaining piece of art from beautiful Thailand.
