Cemetery of Splendour

International Arthouse • 2h 2m

Directed by Apichatpong Weerasethakul | 122 mins | 2015
Weaving together Thailand’s rich fundament of supernatural mythology and its often troubled national history, Apichatpong crafts a bewitching and seductive cinematic idyll, in which comatose soldiers suffering from a mysterious sleeping sickness are confined to a ward and attached to glowing dream machines, continuing to do battle for the glory of feuding kings long dead in their sleep. The mysteries of the clinic—and its possible connection to an ancient site beneath the foundations—gradually ensnare a housewife (Jenjira Pongpas Widner) who volunteers to look after the sleepers and a young clairvoyant (Jarinpattra Rueangram).
