Colin Cotterill is the author of the novel The Motion Picture Teller. This story is set in 1996 and mostly in Bangkok. Two bachelors hang out together in the evenings. One is a postal worker. One works in a video rental/mini-market. Together they enjoy films together. They watch Thai films and foreign films. They seem to have a great friendship. Through a local man they come across a new (to them) film called Bangkok 2010. Both men love the film and decide to do research on the actors and why the film was never released. As it turns out there is a group of people who do not want the movie released. When the former postal worker figures this out, he starts a new career as a motion picture teller. He describes films in detail and keep the village people entertained for hours. I enjoyed reading this humorous book about the friendship of two men in Bangkok.
