In Person: Anchalee Chaiworaporn, Film Critic
Apichatpong Weerasethakul's beguiling yet good natured films - among them blissfully yours and Tropical malady - have gained him an enthusiastic following on the international film festival circuit. His latest feature combines two love stories, separated by decades, whose similar details resonate across the years and flow with the logic of dreams. The film's gently seductive atmosphere and repeated symbolic motifs suggest a voyage into the transcendental mysteries of life and love.
