It took us three nights to watch this slow, gorgeous yet rather opaque Thai film as we both kept falling asleep. It’s a very weird, and beautiful story about a Thai man dying from an illness in a ‘space’ where ghosts and animal/people are the norm. It ends as strangely as it begins. Who has he been before?. In a story of fish and a princess, which was he?. Or was he the servant?. What are our lives really about?. How fully are we the creatures of our karma?. It won the Palm D’Or at Cannes and has been described by some as a moving painting. That is right but it is sooooo slow. Be very awake.
