The Adventure of Iron Pussy
Apichatpong Weerasethakul / TH, 2003 / 90 min.
An extravagant and hilarious satire involving a Thai secret agent in drag on an undercover mission in the spirit of James Bond. However, the makers emphasise that The Adventure of Iron Pussy is about more than silliness.
Zany adventures in this campy musical about Iron Pussy, who spends their days working at 7-Eleven and their nights as a glamourous superheroine. The Thai government brings in the cross-dressing secret agent who infiltrates a castle dressed as a maid to investigate a suspicious shipment of money. The makers treat the audience to upbeat genre parodies of much-loved Thai musicals and melodramas from their childhoods including singing cameos by Thailand’s former prime minister and minister of health.
