"Mysterious Object at Noon"
2000
Directed by Apichatpong Weerasethakul
Taking inspiration from Andre Breton's "Exquisite
Corpse" surrealist storytelling technique, this refreshingly different
motion picture uses interviews with Thai citizens from all walks of life to
build an evolving story. Each narrative step builds to a performance by a
local musical theatrical troupe. "...It's a film unlike any other...to watch
it is to enter a fugue state that has the music and rhythms of another
culture" (Elvis Mitchell, New York Times). Thai with English
subtitles. 85 minutes. |
