畢業於泰國著名大學的攝影及電影系，他與五位大學好友共同執導《小情人》而同獲上海國際電影節亞洲新人獎、最佳導演，及相當於泰國奧斯卡的泰國電影學院獎最佳導演獎殊榮，作品總是貼切地描寫濃濃的純愛風味。在接受雄影獨家專訪時，導演自承每部電影都有個人的人生經歷融入其中：《小情人》是你我的童年往事；《戀愛季節》是生命中一段心路歷程；而留學的心情，則在《親愛的伽利略》當中得以呈現。

Nithiwat Tharatorn began his film study at the Faculty of Communication Arts, Chulalongkorn University in 1993. After the success of ‘My Girl’, the first feature film that he co-directed with his five close college friends, Nithiwat has his solo directorial debut ‘Seasons Change’ in 2006 which becomes the most successful romantic/teenage film in the year. ‘Dear Galileo’ is his second feature length film which deals friendship and love as usual.

失意於學業與愛情的兩個女孩小櫻和小午，覺得自己和伽利略一樣，不被這個世界所瞭解，於是動身到伽利略的故鄉開始新的生活。她們到了歐洲，瞞著家人說一切都好，但卻得辛苦地打工、躲移民局，以及偷偷思鄉……。歐洲很美，但真的置身這裡，卻好像中間還隔了什麼？她們在人生的轉角努力生活。三座歐洲城市裡，兩位放逐青春的少女，踏上一段寫滿記憶的歐洲旅程。

Two girls plan to backpack to Europe for a year. They took off for reasons totally understandable for most teenagers, but unfathomable to adults. Before they took this trip, they swore: #1. No matter what happens, not to leave each other. #2. To never break rule #1 However, as we all know never say “never” when it comes to life being that you will “never” know what might happen.

泰國只有雨季與乾季，然而正處於戀愛夢遊中的男孩，心境卻如同他參加的古典樂團所排練的韋瓦第〈四季〉那般，時而高昂、時而低回，微妙曖昧地緩緩變動著。這是泰國版的《藍色大門》遇上《交響情人夢》，尼堤瓦特泰拉托恩盡得已逝大馬導演雅絲敏阿莫真傳，將一個男孩與兩個女孩之間再俗套不過的三角戀愛說得寬容誠懇，輕巧而幽默，神采直逼《舞動人生》。

Pom’s season of love began one sunny morning after high school final exams.  Pom is an ordinary boy of average height, who goes to a normal school and lives a typical life, except when it comes to his love for Rock N’ Roll and his extraordinary drum major skills. One girl will help him find his real place in this new world, their life and dream have a new journey…

「對我來說，有一件事情是永遠不會忘記的，這個有著長長的雙辮子，紅紅的臉頰，水靈靈的大眼睛的女孩。在我的記憶中一點也沒有改變過，今後也永遠不會改變。」一部關於青梅竹馬與集體記憶的童年成長電影，由《鬼宿舍》、《下一站，說愛你》、《戀愛季節》等六位新銳導演聯合執導，開啟二十一世紀泰國青春愛情電影濫觴，阿牛的《初戀紅豆冰》明顯深受本片啟發。

Jaeb and Noh Nah are childhood friends whose fathers own competing barbershops. As Jaeb grows older he starts to hang out with a group of boys who pressure him into picking on and beating up Noh Nah because she is a girl. After years go by, Jaeb's memories are rekindled when he receives a wedding invitation from Noh Nah, which he accepts.
