About
Tropical Malady
Spooky action at close quarters. As in Blissfully Yours before it and Uncle Boonmee (to which it is closely related) later on, in Tropical Malady Weerasthakul gives us an enigmatic tale of tenderness and terror that unfolds within more than one version of wilderness. An extraordinary pitch of emotional intensity is achieved via rigorously minimal means. "Every drop of my blood sings our song. Do you hear it?"
