Leaving September 1
Directed by Anocha Suwichakornpong and Ben Rivers | 93 mins | 2019
Thai history and pre-history bubble to the surface and get packaged up for sale in this playful, surrealism-tinged venture from Suwichakornpong and Ben Rivers. An unnamed woman arrives in the popular tourist destination of Krabi, presenting herself as a location scout for a commercial—but her identity proves an unstable one. Featuring Oliver Laxe (director of this year’s Oscar- nominated "Sirât") as the commercial’s director, "Krabi, 2562" expands on themes Suwichakornpong and Rivers first explored in "The Ambassadors" (2018).
