Michael Nordine Film Threat When confronted by two opposing visions, Weerasethakul seems content to let the need to reconcile them wander away, letting the tranquility of these moments speak for themselves. Rated: 3.5/5 Oct 25, 2011 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Apichatpong manages to create a sense that reality in film is "strange reality" by the camera movement, the sound,.... And the most powerful element is the monologue and dialogue. He eventually evokes the past and combine it with present. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member I will never know what this movie was to convey. What was most disturbing, suggestions of bestiality =-O Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Strange, very strange (spouse hated it)...found it interesting to see through the lens of a different culture... Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Extremely rich short film about reincarnation, past violence, and the unknown nature of even our family. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Mysterious prelude to Weerasethakul's UNCLE BOONMEE WHO CAN RECALL HIS PAST LIVES chronicles the origins of his own creative process. An entrancing and beautifully filmed introduction. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member A mysterious and disquieting ghost story.
