Varatta Vajrathon

Varatta Vajrathon kind of feels like one of those names you start hearing everywhere, then suddenly you realize—oh, this person’s actually been quietly doing some seriously interesting stuff for a while. Like, take Memoir of Rati (2025). The movie’s got this raw, almost poetic energy running through it, digging into memory, heartbreak, and that weird, bittersweet nostalgia that sneaks up on you in the middle of the night. It doesn’t shy away from messy emotions, and honestly, Vajrathon’s style just hits different—there’s this undercurrent of honesty, even when things get awkward or ugly. Then there’s In Youth We Trust (2024), which is basically a love letter to being young and reckless. You know how people always say “youth is wasted on the young”? This film just laughs in the face of that, letting its characters mess up, make big, stupid mistakes, and somehow find meaning anyway. It’s messy, loud, sometimes hilarious, sometimes heartbreaking. Feels a lot like real life, honestly. And don’t sleep on Once Upon a Star (2023). It’s this dreamy, starlit journey into ambition and longing—think late nights, fairy lights, and that ache you get when you’re reaching for something just out of reach. Vajrathon steers clear of cheap sentimentality, so the magic feels earned, not forced. Altogether, these films build a kind of mosaic of growing up, messing up, and maybe figuring things out along the way. If you’re into stories that actually feel alive, Vajrathon’s stuff is absolutely worth your time.
