“Ghosts aren’t attached to places, but to people, to the living.”
Welcome to Season 5! Andrew and Omaya take a look at the award-winning film Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives from Thai director Apichatpong Weerasethakul. This unique, meditative film asks more questions than it answers, and leads the viewer to have their own experience with it. It’s a story of life and death, ghosts, reincarnation, and family ties, and it’s tightly tied to its culture of origin. Come learn with us as we try to make sense of this beautifully confounding film.
