Additional InformationBased on the diary writings of English widow Anna Leonowens, who journeyed to Siam in 1862 to tutor the children of King Mongkut, this is a grand, epic motion picture that recalls the Hollywood days of yore (see 1946's ANNA AND THE KING OF SIAM and 1956's THE KING AND I for earlier screen adaptations). Yun Fat delivers a heartwarming performance that should finally earn him star status in America, and Foster is, as always, a magnetic screen presence. Their relationship, which is sparked by a just-beneath-the-surface romantic undercurrent, propels the story forward and provides it with its emotional core. As the film builds to its exciting climax, the relationship between the two is tested even further.
ReviewsRolling Stone - ...[Chow Yung-Fat] is a class act - courtly and charming..., Variety - ...Undeniably gratifying....Foster moves gracefully in period costumes and commands the screen charismatically..., Box Office - ...Chow and Foster are perfect casting -- stars whose command of their craft and the camera remain all but unmatched anywhere in the world...

  • A colourful delight

    This a true story and a new version of the The King and I. This is full of sights and sounds of the time in Siam now Thailand. The two main characters played by Jodie Foster and Chow Yung Fat is a master piece of entertainment.

  • A good Sunday cry

    A good film to cry to, especially song at end. An informative twist on The King and I but more believable as it’s based on true story. Brilliant acting. Would always watch again.
