Dir. Apichatpong Weerasethakul
(2011, Not Rated, 113 min)
Watching Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives, I had the distinct feeling that this is not a film for me. I had that inkling before I saw it, based on previous reviews and descriptions, and thus it took me quite a few months before I finally decided to watch it. The story and its themes exist outside of my cultural and philosophical understanding, in the jungles of Thailand, where a man nearing the end of his life is visited – quite literally – by ghosts from his past.
