Apichatpong Weerasethakul's Memoria with Kong Rithdee
Welcome to The Last Thing I Saw. I’m your host, Nicolas Rapold. The movie Memoria from director Apichatpong Weerasethakul is still in U.S. theaters. That's thanks to a gradual rollout by its distributor NEON -- which means that many listeners might be watching the film for the first time now. I’m a fan, as listeners already know, and as it turns out, I still had a previously recorded discussion about Memoria that I hadn’t posted yet. It’s a conversation with Kong Rithdee, currently the deputy director of the Thai Film Archive. A veteran critic, he's also a contributor to Nikkei Asia and to the Bangkok Post, where he was chief film critic. He saw Memoria last summer before it premiered in Cannes, and as always I was eager to hear his insights. I’m pleased to finally share our conversation, which kicks off with my guest sharing initial thoughts.
