Defining films
In their own words
Apichatpong Weerasethakul's films like Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives and Cemetery of Splendour approach death and the metaphysical in ways that felt similar to the story I wanted to tell. Those films had a profound impact on me, and I spent a great deal of time thinking about them leading up to the making of A Ghost Story.

I hadn't seen it at the time, but I've since seen it, and I absolutely love it. It's definitely on the top of the list for influences.
