Movie Info

An adventurous experiment in cinematic storytelling, this low-budget independent Thai feature is structured like the Surrealist idea of the "exquisite corpse." One person begins a story, and a succession of others continue it in whatever way they see fit. Director Apichatpong Weerasethakul gleans his participants from all over the Thai countryside.

I never understood the Thai culture nor ever had the desire to explore. With artists like this coming out of this country, however, I am finally interested.

A quiet, experimental docufiction about nothing. No, let me start again: A quiet, experimental docufiction about everything. The remarkable, highly original although far from perfect feature-length debut from one of the worlds best filmmakers.
