Defining Films
Profile
The poet of duration and dissolution. His films move through time like ghosts through rooms — languid, associative, haunted by memory and mortality. Cinema as a space where the living and dead coexist, where a gesture or a glance carries the weight of entire lifetimes.
Critical Essay (Excerpt)
b. 16 July 1970, Bangkok, Thailand
In Their Own Words
Juliet of the Spirits has this quality of the subconscious. When I try to represent characters' inner worlds, their dreams or memories, it's not always so clear cut what is real and what is not. This is something I'm exploring in Uncle Boonmee.
