Contemporary Film: Under the Influence of Apichatpong Weerasethakul
In November, La Casa Encendida brings the last contemporary film cycle of the year to a close with a programme that pays tribute to the legacy of one of the most extraordinary voices on the Asian scene, Apichatpong Weerasethakul.
"Under the Influence of Apichatpong Weerasethakul" presents three oneiric dramas, all of which unfold in magical settings where the population learns to interact with ghosts or creatures from other epochs that inhabit the same space. A forest in Italy, an enchanted house in Singapore and jungles in Thailand that Apichatpong Weerasethakul has not yet explored are the true protagonists of this cycle dedicated to the fascinating, thought-provoking science fiction of the Thai director of Uncle Boonme Who Can Recall His Past Lives.
