A Letter to Uncle Boonmee

anarresti

Perfect to watch after the feature Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives. Peter Greenaway has been a critic of cinema that is a mere ilustration of novels and plays. With Apichatpong, we do feel there is something truly other than just filming a narrative. There is a specific language. An intriguing one. Made with moving images, with words, sounds. With human emotion, landscape. This is cinema. At its best.

with minimal means & a meditative style this highly poetic short film reveals the project at the heart of Weerasethakul's films - such as Mysterious Object at Noon & Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives, etc - is the impulse to commemorate the stories of the living & the dead from his community - every frame of this powerful film is infused with that inherently human, tragic, political endeavour - very moving

While I watched this I had the windows open in the house, and at times I could feel the wind swirling around my bare feet. Or maybe it was just the film. Weerasethakul's films feel like they should be watched outdoors, maybe in a park at night like in *Phantoms of Nabua*. Just beautiful.

It's quite odd that as i was planning to re-read the english subtitles of the first two minutes, the prolog repeated itself.

Mysterious prelude to Weerasethakul's UNCLE BOONMEE WHO CAN RECALL HIS PAST LIVES chronicles the origins of his own creative process. An entrancing and beautifully filmed introduction.

A Letter to Uncle Boonmee was one of the best films I saw at TIFF '09. It's super-exciting that it's on The Auteurs. Everyone should watch it!

I'm going to pay you a dollar to watch something I can see for free on the Animate Projects website. Get real.

Cuando Weerasethakul no encuentra las cosas más bellas se las inventa ¿Puede realmente controlar la naturaleza con la precisión que muestra ese plano en el que voltea la cámara hacia el cielo? Su cámara lo puede todo, empezando por conciliar vidas presentes y pasadas, de las personas y los lugares. Hermoso.
