Audience Member The dreamlike atmosphere created by Weerasethakul's masterful hand is overshadowed by the cryptic development of a story which treasures lie under its hipnotizing looks. It is, indeed, a rewardingly original film, but it is not, unfortunately, an instantly attention catcher.

They are unique but sadly you must be in the correct state of mind to enjoy them. It's not easy to hit the right moments, and I missed it. Again. Some soliders got some sort of sleeping illness as they lay around in an hospital. The people caring for them are the ones we get to know here. They are talking and even if they have some interesting features they fail to show them of too often. It got light moments, some OK moments too. A guy takes a dump in the woods. I liked that part. I also enjoyd the DJ Soulscape track during the final scenes. The film give me few scenes to interest me. The story is so vaguely told and it's very, very, slow. I do enjoy the images - many great stills could be taken out of this film, but that's about the few positive things for me here. It's a very open and silent film. Gentle and pretty. I fail to get what the director wants me to get - if there is anything to catch. The human warmth and soul stays strong here, as do the simplicity, but it's simply not enough. 4 out of 10 gigantic color shifting straws.

Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Anyone with the latest iPhone can go to a construction site to record some heavy machinery digging a hole... In fact there were moments I was in a deeper slumber than the comatosed soldiers!! Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member A truly meditative experience sure to leave you helplessly vulnerable into succumbing to eternal slumber as the soldiers in this film. That's a blessing and a curse for Cemetery of Splendor. But visually, this is a work of art. The colors light up the screen majestically. Everyone and everything in this film seems to be shifting in and out of a deep sleep. This is cinema in a catatonic state.
