“When you’re asleep, even the bright city lights feel dull.”

In this episode, Andrew and guest Omaya Jones take a look at another film from Thai director Apichatpong Weerasethakul, 2015’s Cemetery of Splendor. This film explores a number of spiritual themes, including the nature of sleep, dreams, reincarnation and meditation, and it’s visually quite stunning as well.
