Jogho

About This Movie

Jogho is a fascinating dive into the world of bullfighting, set against the backdrop of Southeast Asia's cultural tensions. Mamat, a man caught between two worlds—his home in Malaysia and his life in Thailand—brings a raw, emotional weight to the story. The pacing is contemplative, allowing the audience to soak in the rich atmosphere of the rural landscapes. The performances, though understated, resonate deeply, showcasing the struggles of tradition versus modernity. What’s distinctive here is how the film handles the outlawed practice with an almost reverent lens, exploring themes of identity and loyalty. It’s not just about the fights; it’s the connection to the land and heritage that feels integral. A unique piece, for sure.
