06/14/2014 Apichatpong manages to create a sense that reality in film is "strange reality" by the camera movement, the sound,.... And the most powerful element is the monologue and dialogue. He eventually evokes the past and combine it with present. See more 04/04/2014 I will never know what this movie was to convey.

See more 05/26/2011 Extremely rich short film about reincarnation, past violence, and the unknown nature of even our family.
