Directed by Apichatpong Weerasethakul | 113 mins | 2010
Winner of the 2010 Palme d’Or at Cannes, Apichatpong’s film follows its fatally ill title character (Thanapat Saisaymar) on a final pilgrimage of sorts, traveling the countryside of Thailand’s rural northeast where he encounters long-lost loved ones including an apparition of his dead wife and his son, who makes his prodigal return in the form of a “Monkey Ghost.” A visionary, dreamlike work of lush magic realism that draws from the deep well of Thai mythology and history, proposing an animistic view of the natural world in which there’s nothing unusual about the appearance of a catfish who speaks, and where the possibility of regeneration awaits at the precipice of death.
