But the intoxications of Thailand can be hard to resist, especially when it has a face as beautiful as Lek’s (FLORENCE FAIVRE in a critically lauded performance). As temperatures rise and passions erupt, loyalties are crossed and somewhere in the distance, a trigger is pulled.
The Elephant King, written and directed by award-winning filmmaker Seth Grossman, is a sensual, thought-provoking story of two American brothers, Oliver and Jake Hunt, adrift in an exotic world they don’t fully understand. It stars Academy Award® Winner Ellen Burstyn who Variety Magazine calls “exceptional” in her performance of Diana Hunt, Tale Ellington as Oliver, Jonno Roberts as Jake, and newcomer Florence Faivre as Lek who Variety states will surely have a “promising career, not just for her statuesque beauty but for her ability to navigate a role and character fraught with contradictions and moral shoals. Florence handles Lek’s seemingly split allegiances – between Oliver, Jake and her own culture and countrymen – delicately and with convincing care.” Variety goes on to say that The Elephant King has “exotic allure” with a “stylish look” and “expert editing by Academy Award® Nominee Saar Klein, Inbal B.
