The great French actress Isabelle Huppert is a mainstay at many international festivals, but seeing her grace the screens at Sundance in Park City, Utah was a uniquely pleasant surprise. Huppert stars in LUZ, the second feature from Hong Kong director Flora Lau, which premiered in the World Cinema Dramatic Competition at this year's edition. The film follows two characters who turn to virtual reality to attempt to reconnect with estranged loved ones. One of them is a reformed gangster in Chongqing trying to find his daughter who was taken away from him years ago; the other is a Hong Kong gallery owner who goes to Paris to visit her stepmother (played by Huppert) who is facing a terminal diagnosis. Huppert carries the role with her typical combination of flair and subtlety, portraying a woman who faces mortality with quiet, even irreverent self-assuredness.  Last week, Film Comment Editor Devika Girish chatted with Huppert about how she came to be a part of LUZ, what it's like to communicate across language barriers on and off-screen, and how Apichatpong Weerasethakul introduced her to virtual reality.

Welcome back to another episode of the GGtMC!!! This week Sammy and Will discuss Uncle Boonme Who Can Recall His Past Lives (2010) directed by Apichatpong Weerasethakul!!! Emails to midnitecinema@gmail.com Adios!!!

Hello, Hello, Hello!   In this very special, if slightly delayed episode, Dhruv & Amartya are joined by returning guest Cris (now "not the token queer representation for QID"), reincarnated host-cum-guest Aryan (from America), and first-time-but-hopefully-recurring-guest Prakhar Patidar, to talk about the film every Indie Awards Circuit talk show and Indian cinephile is currently talking about -- Payal Kapadia's "All We Imagine as Light." Because everyone already seems to have written all sorts of essays and reviews on AWIAL (some of them are linked below!), we decided to expand the discussion beyond that. The first hour (of this 110 min podcast) is dedicated to exploring Payal Kapadia's early short film work, her, at times, overpowering indebtedness to certain filmic styles (namely, Apichatpong Weerasethakul, who is mentioned at least 20 times in this discussion), and how her first feature film, “A Night of Knowing Nothing” (2021), breaks away from that. The second hour involves a full, spoiler-filled discussion of AWIAL – the things we liked about it, the things we didn't, and the things we hope to like more about it on a rewatch. Listen to the full episode to hear us also -- dismiss the all-male Indian Jury who dismissed AWIAL as India's Oscar Entry for its lack of “Indianness” and debate what “Indianness” really is!

Documentarian Ian Darling's filmography includes a myriad of films that explore the fabric of Australian society. With Paul Kelly - Stories of Me, Darling immersed viewers into the poetry of one of Australia's greatest lyricists. In The Final Quarter, the excoriating and cruel racism inflicted upon footy legend Adam Goodes is explored through the media's coverage of the event. Then, working as a producer on a film like The Department, Darling shines a light on the people who keep the child protection system moving in NSW.Each of these stories paints a picture of the kind of Australia that we live in - a complicated and multifaceted community that stretches from Western Australia to the shores of Bondi Beach in NSW. It's near those Bondi shores that Darling takes audiences with his latest film, The Pool, a mood driven documentary that presents a year in the life of the iconic Bondi Icebergs Club, a varied group of individuals who call the stunning seaside pool home.The Pool sways through different styles of documentary filmmaking. At once, it's a nature documentary, with Ben Cunningham's camera capturing every shade of blue and purple that the sea, its sunrises and shadows of sunsets offer, at other times it leans towards a talking heads style documentary as swimmers, lifeguards, and trainers each tell personal stories about what the pool means to them. Darling matches the tone of the pool with an array of iconic songs that are masterfully paired with Paul Charlier's score.What emerges from the salty waters of Bondi is a tonal poem that embraces the feeling and mood of being immersed in a body of water and being at one with yourself and the world, free from thoughts and worries. It is, quite simply, a unique experience that feels wholly appropriate for a documentary about a swimming pool.Midway through watching The Pool, I couldn't help but be reminded of Apichatpong Weerasethakul's view that to fall asleep during one of his films is an honour. While I didn't fall asleep during The Pool, the experience that Darling has created is so relaxing that I couldn't help but want to drift off with the sounds of his film playing in my mind, wondering where the stories I hear would take me.This is a question I wish I asked Ian when I interviewed him ahead of the films screenings at the Adelaide Film Festival, and the national release for The Pool on 7 November. Instead, our discussion swayed into the realm of talking about what swimming means to him, how he worked in the different colour palette for the film, and what his perspective of the truly Australian nature of this story is. The Pool is a film that, if you give yourself over to it, will certainly transport you to a different place, and is a visual treat on the big screen.The Pool screens at Adelaide Film Festival on Sunday 27 October, where Ian Darling will be in attendance and on Sunday 3 November. Tickets are available via the Adelaide Film Festival website here. For those unable to attend, The Pool will release nationally on 7 November. Hosted on Acast.

"Don't be afraid to make something." The DJ and composer discusses the vulnerability of the creative process, returning to the piano and touring her latest album. Laurel Halo has been circling around the club music world for a number of years, but she's only recently entered the echelons of jazz and contemporary classical. Originally from Michigan, she went to music school in New York before moving to Berlin, and now Los Angeles, where she composed her 2023 album, Atlas—a release that's been met with widespread critical acclaim. She also played alongside Moritz von Oswald in his jazz outfit the Moritz von Oswald Trio, and released a number of eclectic, UK-tinged dance floor records on underground giants like Hyperdub and Livity Sound. In this RA Exchange, Laurel Halo discusses the new direction of her music and what it's been like to tour it live with cellist Leila Bordreuil. She also talks about her creative inspiration (namely, the Thai filmmaker Apichatpong Weerasethakul and books by surrealist writers like Ursula K. Le Guin and Italo Calvino), the practice of aesthetic minimalism more generally and the methods she uses to create subtle variations in pieces that are slow to evolve. Listen to the episode in full.

En un mundo y una industria globalizados, es pertinente cuestionar y reflexionar sobre las ideas que definen a los cines nacionales. Cuando se habla de "cine colombiano", ¿en qué pensamos? Este espacio reúne tres casos singulares de la cinematografía producida en Colombia que desafían los criterios lingüísticos, temáticos y de producción tradicionales: Memoria, de Apichatpong Weerasethakul; Pepe, de Nelson Carlo de los Santos Arias, y Unidentified Objects, de Juan Felipe Zuleta. Panel compuesto por:Diana Bustamante  (Productora de Memoria)Tanya Valette (Pepe)Juan Felipe Zuleta (Unidentified Objects)Episodio grabado en vivo con público en el Bogotá Audiovisual Market 2024 como parte de las Market Sessions.Este espacio es posible gracias a:La invitación de BAM y Proimágenes ColombiaLa alianza que Gente que hace Cine hace con Unisabana Radio y la Facultad de Comunicación Social y la carrera de periodismo de la Universidad de la Sabana.El patrocinio de Telar de Cine, una casa de producción y distribución cinematográfica comprometida con la creación de nuevas narrativas de ficción y no ficción, el cuidado de las personas involucradas en los procesos creativos y la formación de profesionales integrales en las industrias creativas. https://telardecine.com/Producción: Lucía Romero Gutiérrez de PIñeresAsistencia de Sonido: Valeria LópezAsistencia de Video y Presentación: Isabella JiménezAsistencia de Cámara: Marcela SuárezReels by: Nicolás SeguraProducción General: Genteque ProductoraMás episodios de Gente que hace cine en:https://gentequehacecine.com/Nuestras Redes:https://linktr.ee/gentequehacecineApóyanos en Patreonhttps://www.patreon.com/gentequehacecineEscríbenos y trabajemos juntos:info@gentequehacecine.com

Heute: COMIC CON galore. Denn: im Kino is irgendwie Flaute. Es startet zwar TRAP: NO WAY OUT von M. Night Shyamalan, aber den hat keiner von uns gesehen. Er wurde der Presse weltweit nicht gezeigt. Deswegen seid Ihr gefragt. Falls Ihr ihn gesehen habt, gebt gerne Input. Andi, Alwin, Schlogger und Schröck schwärmen derweil von GEFÄHRLICHE BRANDUNG. Der wird nämlich wieder aufgeführt. Und dann haben wir auch noch etwas Zeit für ein paar Streaming- und Mediatheken-Tipps. Zum Beispiel stehen jetzt nun endlich die ungeschnittenen Fassungen von Zack Snyders REBEL MOON-Filmen an. Die haben dann auch direkt neue Titel: KELCH DES BLUTES und FLUCH DER VERGEBUNG. Dazu RETTET BIKINI BOTTOM: DER SANDY CHEEKS FILM, THE FIRST SLAM DUNK, unser Liebling EWIGE JUGEND und das Spencer-Hill-Frühwerk GOTT VERGIBT - DJANGO NIE!. Oder MEN IN BLACK 3, JUNGLE, der Werwolf-Spaß GINGER SNAPS - DAS BIEST IN DIR, REHRAGOUT-RENDEZVOUS und für unsere Artefatzkes MEMORIA von Apichatpong Weerasethakul. Abseits davon gehts aber vor allem um die COMIC CON und alle Bomben, die sie platzen ließ. Ganz vorne natürlich: ROBERT DOWNEY JR. wird DR. DOOM. Für die Russos, die AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY und AVENGERS: SECRET WARS drehen werden. Davon kann man halten, was man will, aber die Sensation ist Marvel damit erstmal gelungen. Daneben gehts aber auch um CAPTAIN AMERICA, THUNDERBOLTS und FANTASTIC FOUR, es geht um die nicht ganz so üppigen Ankündigungen von DC, um den neuen Trailer zu THE PENGUIN, um die nächsten Ableger zu THE BOYS, die Manga-Adaption UZUMAKI, kurz auch noch mal um HELLBOY und BIOSHOCK oder das CONAN - DER BARBAR nun Teil von MORTAL KOMBAT wird. Fehlen eigentlich nur noch die Streifen, die wir zuletzt gesehen haben und die wollen wir Euch selbstverständlich nicht vorenthalten. So geht es mal wieder um KÖNIG DER LÖWEN, noch mal um DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE und endlich mal um TELEVISION EVENT und SCHLACHT UM ALGIER. Aber damit sind wir dann auch wirklich dicht bis oben hin. Gut, das klang jetzt vielleicht ungünstig. Damit sind wir dann auch am Ende. In diesem Sinne: Viel Spaß im Kino oder auf der Couch, bleibt fair, gesund und gut drauf und habt ein schönes Wochenende.

After an year-long hybernation period, I have returned from the darkness bringing you Apichatpong Weerasethakul's Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives, a film that flatens many existences and realms once separated by the restrictions of time, space, and societal norms. A beautiful visual rendering of a book from 1983 called A Man Who Can Recall His Past Lives by Buddhist abbot Phra Sripariyattiwet. A terminal illness thins out otherwise physical barriers of existence as Boonmee navigates through past lives to find reason and understanding. 

What's that sound? Why, it's a new episode of AnotherLook with Will and Corey! Will's pick of the week is Memoria by Apichatpong Weerasethakul. Corey and Will discuss the nature of perception, Tilda Swinton, our theories about the key mystery of the film, and much more. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/willandcorey/support

Show SummaryOn today's episode, I'm having a conversation with Frederick Marx, an internationally acclaimed Oscar and Emmy nominated filmmaker with over 40 years in the film industry. We have a conversation about a recent project, a series of five films called Veterans Journey Home, which features the stories of veterans who are working to transition to post-military life and the insights of professionals that support themAbout Today's GuestFrederick Marx is an internationally acclaimed, Oscar and Emmy nominated director/writer with 40 years in the film business. He was named a Chicago Tribune Artist of the Year, a Guggenheim Fellow, and a recipient of a Robert F. Kennedy Special Achievement Award. His film HOOP DREAMS played in hundreds of theatres nationwide after winning the Audience Award at the Sundance Film Festival and was the first documentary ever chosen to close the New York Film Festival. It was on over 100 “Ten Best” lists nationwide and was named Best Film of the Year by critics Roger Ebert, Gene Siskel, Gene Shalit, and Ken Turran and by the Chicago Film Critics Association. Ebert also named it Best Film of the Decade. It is one of the highest grossing non-musical documentaries in United States history. It has won numerous prestigious awards, including an Academy Nomination (Best Editing), Producer's Guild, Editor's Guild (ACE), Peabody Awards, the Prix Italia (Europe's top documentary prize) and The National Society of Film Critics Award. The New York, Boston, LA, and San Francisco Film Critics all chose it as Best Documentary, 1994. Utne Reader named it one of 150 of humanity's “essential works,” and the Library of Congress recently added it to its prestigious National Film Registry, and the International Documentary Association named it “The Best Documentary of All Time.” HOOP DREAMS (1994) is the film that first interested Marx in the welfare of teenage boys. BOYS TO MEN? (2004) distributed by Media Education Foundation takes that as its central theme. RITES OF PASSAGE: MENTORING THE FUTURE is the culmination, offering solutions. In 1993, Marx received an Emmy nomination for HIGHER GOALS (1992) for Best Daytime Children's Special. Producer, Director, and Writer for this national PBS Special, Marx directed Tim Meadows of “Saturday Night Live” fame. Accompanied by a curriculum guide, the program was later distributed for free to over 4,200 inner city schools nationwide. THE UNSPOKEN (1999), Marx's first feature film, features stellar performances from Russian star Sergei Shnirev of the famed Moscow Art Theatre, and Harry Lennix, most known for GET ON THE BUS, BOB ROBERTS, TITUS, ER, and MATRIX. A hobbyist songwriter, in 1991 Marx recorded a number of his songs collectively known as ROLLING STEEL. Two of those 11 songs are used over THE UNSPOKEN tail credits and one is used in BOYS TO MEN?. THE UNSPOKEN and ROLLING STEEL are available through this website. Having worked for a time as an English and creative writing teacher, Marx began his movie career as a film critic, and has worked both as a film distributor and exhibitor. He has also traveled extensively. He's lived in Germany, China, and Hungary. He's traveled repeatedly through Western and Eastern Europe, North Africa and Himalayan India. With a B.A. in Political Science and an MFA in filmmaking, Marx has coupled his formal education with a natural gift for languages, speaking German and some Mandarin-Chinese. His interest in languages and foreign cultures is reflected in PBS' international human rights program OUT OF THE SILENCE (1991), the widely acclaimed personal essay DREAMS FROM CHINA (1989), and Learning Channel's SAVING THE SPHINX (1997). He consulted on Iranian-Kurdish director Bahman Ghobadi's feature TURTLES CAN FLY (2004) and was a teacher of renowned Thai feature filmmaker Apichatpong Weerasethakul. Three of Marx's films premiered at the New York Film Festival. His films are distributed throughout the web, on Amazon, and elsewhere. Having dedicated his life to the making and promotion of independent films, Marx, a true maverick in the increasingly commercialized world of “independent cinema,” continues to provide a voice of artistic and social integrity. He repeatedly returns to work with disadvantaged and misunderstood communities: people of color, abused children, the working poor, welfare recipients, prisoners, the elderly, and “at risk” youth. He brings a passion for appreciating multiculturalism and an urgent empathy for the sufferings of the disadvantaged to every subject he tackles. As his mission statement indicates (“Bearing witness, creating change”), his is a voice strong and clear, and profoundly human. Links Mentioned In This EpisodeVeterans Journey Home WebsiteWarrior Films Resources PagePsychArmor Resource of the WeekThis week's PsychArmor resource of the week is the PsychArmor course Seeking Support. Transitioning from military service can evoke strong emotions.

| Review | Accomplished Thai director Apichatpong Weerasethakul is a master of the slow, meditative cinema. His latest film, Memoria, is no exception; it's a fascinating sensory experience that asks big questions and answers very little. Don't worry though, Tilda Swinton is here to hold your hand.

Two-minute project teaser: https://warriorfilms.org/its-your-wonderful-life/ More about Frederick: Frederick Marx has lived his life mission as a socially dedicated film artist for 45 years. He is an internationally acclaimed, Oscar and Emmy nominated producer/director. He was named a Chicago Tribune Artist of the Year, a Guggenheim Fellow, and a recipient of a Robert F. Kennedy Special Achievement Award. His film HOOP DREAMS played in hundreds of theatres nationwide after winning the Audience Award at the Sundance Film Festival and was the first documentary ever chosen to close the New York Film Festival. It was on over 100 “Ten Best” lists nationwide and was named Best Film of the Year by critics Roger Ebert, Gene Siskel, Gene Shalit, and Ken Turran and by the Chicago Film Critics Association. Ebert also named it Best Film of the Decade. Prestigious awards include: Academy Nomination (Best Editing), Producer's Guild, Editor's Guild (ACE), Peabody Awards, the Prix Italia (Europe's top documentary prize) and The National Society of Film Critics Award. Utne Reader named it one of 150 of humanity's “essential works,” the Library of Congress recently added it to its prestigious National Film Registry, and the International Documentary Association named it the Best Documentary Ever. HOOP DREAMS ignited Marx's lifelong passion for the well-being of youth. That led to BOYS TO MEN? (2002) – a snapshot of the dire state of teen boys in the U.S. today. BOYS TO MEN? chronicles one year in the lives of three fifteen year old boys as they struggle to define themselves meaningfully as men. Soon Marx will make his final film on youth – RITES OF PASSAGE: MENTORING THE FUTURE. This documentary is about solutions. It will demonstrate why it's necessary to initiate and mentor all the world's youth. It will show audiences how it can be done, provide them with the tools to do it, and inspire them to take up the challenge. VETERANS JOURNEY HOME, a five part series of films, tells the story of the 2.7 million returning US veterans and what it takes for them to successfully transition back into civilian life. Whether officially diagnosed with PTSD or not, most vets carry the psychic scars of “moral injury” and will carry the battle within long after the bullets stop flying. Marx's films show them healing and transforming. In 1993, Marx received an Emmy nomination for HIGHER GOALS (1992) for Best Daytime Children's Special. Producer, Director, and Writer for this national PBS Special, Marx directed Tim Meadows of “Saturday Night Live” fame. Accompanied by a curriculum guide, the program was later distributed for free to over 4,200 inner city schools nationwide. His most recent film JOURNEY FROM ZANSKAR (2010) - featuring the Dalai Lama, with narration by Richard Gere - is now in worldwide release. THE UNSPOKEN (1999), Marx's first feature film, features stellar performances from star Sergei Shnirev of the famed Moscow Art Theatre (Russian voice of Disney's ALADDIN), and Harry J. Lennix, most known for MATRIX, Spike Lee's GET ON THE BUS, Tim Robbins' BOB ROBERTS, and Julie Taymor's TITUS. A hobbyist songwriter, Marx recorded a number of his songs collectively known as ROLLING STEEL (1991). Marx's vision for cross-cultural understanding is reflected in PBS' international human rights program OUT OF THE SILENCE (1991), the widely acclaimed personal essay DREAMS FROM CHINA (1989), and Learning Channel's SAVING THE SPHINX (1997). He consulted on Iranian-Kurdish director Bahman Ghobadi's feature TURTLES CAN FLY (2004) and was a teacher of renowned Thai feature filmmaker Apichatpong Weerasethakul.

This week we cover Apichatpong Weerasethakul's 2004 film, "Tropical Malady" in the context of the Sight & Sound top 100 films list. We discuss the making of the film and the various themes that make it such a unique film.  After we discuss the background of the film, we dive into the film plot-point by plot-point for an in-depth look at a 21st Century standout film.  Finally, we finish the podcast with two film pairings for "Tropical Malady."Thank you so much for listening!Created by Spike Alkire & Jake KelleyTheme Song by Breck McGoughFollow us on twitter @DoubleBillChil1 https://twitter.com/DoubleBillChil1Letterboxd: FartsDomino44

In this episode of What a Picture, Bryan and Hannah hunt in the jungle for Tropical Malady, the 2004 movie directed by Apichatpong Weerasethakul that ranks #95 on Sight and Sound's 2022 Greatest Films of All Time Critics' Poll. Music is "Phaser" by Static in Verona.

Welcome to a new episode of the Film at Lincoln Center podcast. This week we're excited to present a conversation with director Apichatpong Weeraseth-akul about his 2002 feature, Blissfully Yours. We were delighted to have the Thai director recently join us at FLC as part of our complete retrospective, The World of Apichatpong Weerasethakul. A mesmerizing and sensuous meditation on love and desire, Apichatpong's second (and first fully fictional) feature film established him as one of world cinema's most essential talents. The plot follows a romance between a Thai nurse and her boyfriend who go on a jungle picnic with an older woman (whom they both seem to know) in hot pursuit. The tranquility of their date, enveloping and tender as it may initially seem, slowly recedes to reveal a more complex emotional picture, one marked by Apichatpong's sophisticatedly low-key and true-feeling approach to rendering human desire.

Slow cinema aesthetics are becoming more popular in mainstream cinema, not only the art house or festival circuit. People are looking for ways to get away from the quick pace of modern life and our continual connectivity. Why not look for it in the stillness, in the static images of landscapes, in the experience of ordinary people living ordinary lives? Slow Cinema is a formal trend that has gradually gained popularity in modern cinema since its inception after the Second World War. Slow cinema is an art or experimental film model that portrays several distinct characteristics. Flanagan (2012) explained that slow cinema was characterized by the application of the long take, a tendency toward realist or hyperrealist representation, an undramatic narrative or non-narrative structure, stillness in composition, and visual content. Slowness in cinema has prompted the rise of questions that have gained critical and theoretical discussions over the past decade (De Luca, 2016). A review of the slow cinema style based on stillness, long durations, and silence makes it unsuitable for domestic film viewing. The fragmented and distracted modes of spectatorial interaction with miniaturized screens are only attainable in film theaters.  There are several films that have helped to popularize slow cinema and have promoted the idea of searching for meaning in the everyday in ordinary life, including but not limited to Jean-Luc Godard's "Contempt", Béla Tarr's "Sátántangó", Abbas Kiarostami's "Ten", Lav Diaz's "Fallen Angels", Michael Snow's "La Région Centrale", Apichatpong Weerasethakul's "Mit Klang", Chantal Akerman's "No Home Movie" and Abbas Kiarostami's "Like Someone In Love".  Ideally, slow cinema was primarily interested in how the passage of time can be felt within a film. The idea was to ensure duration became a filmic element, similar to editing or cinematography (Flanagan, 2012). To achieve the duration ideology, films leaned towards longer takes, minimal editing, and naturalistic performances, which made the films alienating and bizarre. The focus on time and duration involved, making films to be agonizingly slowly paced. For instance, the films would have 20-minute sequences during which a man walked while holding a candle. As the focus on time in Cinema intensified, there was minimal narrative and more time spent building tone in Poetics of Slow Cinema (Çaglayan, 2018). Sound design is also minimal, and the camera is seen to move but slowly. Previously, Cinema was established to be a narrative art form that slow Cinema has drastically changed. Slow Cinema is argued to test patience, hooking the viewer by making them wait, expecting a pay-off that sometimes never arrives. Talented slow cinema directors have greatly mastered the art of keeping their audience waiting for the entire length of their films. Slow cinema films have significantly gained popularity and are reported to leave a lasting impact on viewers immersed in a slowly moving world.  A slow film is one that does not move. This could include a lack of narrative, contemplative cinema, aesthetic sensibility, or philosophical insights. The length of a shot. Slow cinema is distinguished by the use of static shots, long duration shots, pans, tracking shots, and a narrative focus on the more mundane aspects of life.

This week, we have a special bonus episode courtesy of our Latin American podcast MUBI Podcast: Encuentros. To celebrate the exclusive release of MEMORIA on MUBI in many countries, we're excited to share this discussion between Tilda Swinton and Apichatpong Weerasethakul.Swinton and Weerasethakul reunited in Colombia for MEMORIA's release and talked about the importance of understanding that you're not in control and how cinema is an attempt to put what's inside one's head on screen, something they achieved through sound.This conversation touches on the creative process of two of film's greatest names while working together on the film, which was an intimate collaboration founded on their long friendship.For the world-renowned Thai artist and film director Apichatpong Weerasethakul, the topics of dreams and death are essential to his filmography. His style raises big questions about time and our relationship with the spiritual world. Winner of the Cannes Palme d'Or in 2012 for UNCLE BOONMEE WHO CAN RECALL HIS PAST LIVES, Weerasethakul returned to the main competition years later with MEMORIA, his first film shot outside of Thailand, which received the Jury Prize (ex-aequo).The Scottish artist, actress, and producer Tilda Swinton began her career performing and collaborating with experimental filmmaker Derek Jarman. She has worked with directors such as Jim Jarmusch, Wes Anderson, Luca Guadagnino, the Coen brothers, and Joanna Hogg. Her performances have been characterized by the subtlety of her gestures and her magnetic presence. In 2007, she won the Academy Award for Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role for the movie MICHAEL CLAYTON. She has combined her acting in major Hollywood productions with a wide range of characters created by contemporary filmmakers such as Bong Joon-ho, Pedro Almodóvar, Lynne Ramsay, and more recently, Apichatpong Weerasethakul.This special release is in English, but if you are a Spanish-speaker, we encourage you to subscribe to MUBI Podcast: Encuentros on your favorite podcast app. The show is produced in partnership with La Corriente del Golfo.

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 the veteran Thai critic, Kong Rithdee, currently the deputy director of the Thai Film Archive. He's also a longtime contributor 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 some initial thoughts.

This week on the Film at Lincoln Center podcast, we're featuring a special programmers preview of Beware of Dario Argento, our 20-film retrospective taking place Friday through June 29. Join FLC Programmers Maddie Whittle and Tyler Wilson in an overview of the Master of Giallo's oeuvre. Explore the lineup, featuring 17 world premieres of new restorations, the North American Premiere of Dark Glasses, 3D and 35mm screenings, and in-person appearances from Argento himself at filmlinc.org/argento. After the preview, listen to a Q&A from the 59th New York Film Festival with director Apichatpong Weerasethakul and actress Tilda Swinton on their Main Slate selection Memoria, moderated by NYFF Artistic Director Dennis Lim. Collective and personal ghosts hover over every frame of Memoria, somehow the grandest yet most becalmed of Apichatpong Weerasethakul's works. Inspired by the Thai director's own memories and those of people he encountered while traveling across Colombia, the film follows Jessica (a wholly immersed Tilda Swinton), an expat botanist visiting her hospitalized sister in Bogotá; while there, she becomes ever more disturbed by an abyssal sound that haunts her sleepless nights and bleary-eyed days, compelling her to seek help in identifying its origins. Thus begins a personal journey that's also a historical excavation, in a film of profound serenity that, like Jessica's sound, lodges itself in the viewer's brain as it traverses city and country, climaxing in an extraordinary extended encounter with a rural farmer that exists on a precipice between life and death. Join our special engagement with Memoria, playing for one week only through June 23! Get tickets at filmlinc.org/memoria.

It's Casual Friday! Sam and Emma host Ari Rabin-Havt, former deputy campaign manager for Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt), to discuss his recent book The Fighting Soul: On the Road with Bernie Sanders. Then, Sam and Emma are joined by Matthew Film Guy! Ari, Emma, and Sam first dive into what his roles were traveling with Bernie throughout the 2020 campaign, particularly in the wake of Ari's arrival on the team in the wake of his 2016 run. Ari Rabin-Havt then explores what it's like to have that intimate perspective, particularly when it comes to Bernie's atypical relationship to his popularity, which jumped to unprecedented levels in 2016, and in his reflections on bringing the magic from his previous campaign into 2020. After touching further on Bernie's evolution between the two elections, Ari reflects on the role of Democratic leadership in completely leaving Bernie out to dry when it came to his fight with Jeff Bezos in 2018 and giving him the inside lane there, and discusses how the relationship between Bernie and Elizabeth Warren developed over the course of the second campaign, from the launch of their campaigns, to Bernie's heart attack, and all the way through the well-documented clash on the Iowa debate stage. Sam, Emma, and Ari briefly touch on any massive changes to the campaign that would've been made in reflection two years later, from the first debate to Super Tuesday, before they wrap up the interview by discussing the central importance of a movement of workers to actually carry and support the progressive agenda, the importance of supporting actual organizers, and what possibilities remain around a third Bernie presidential campaign. Then, Matthew Film Guy (AKA Film Guy Matthew) discloses his BTS drama in his most recent movie, and walks through THREE movie recommendations, including Apichatpong Weerasethakul's “Syndromes and a Century,” Joanna Hogg's romance in the time of Thatcher “The Souvenir,” and Luchino Visconti's work “Rocco and his Brothers.” Sam gives Matthew his Disney World tips, and Sam and Emma cover re-juiced military aid to Ukraine, Biden's tiptoe tapdance with student debt relief, and the absurdity of means-testing. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma do their darndest to decipher Elon Musk's take on twitter's “left-wing bias” (not liking anti-semitism?) and Sam dives into the incompatibility between the right-wing (driven by a sense of grievance, desire to own the libs) and an exclusively right-wing social media (nobody to claim is attacking them, nobody to then own). OK State Sen. Warren Hamilton objects to women receiving life-saving medical procedures, Tucker Carlson and Glenn Greenwald discuss Russia's (really the Democrats') invasion of Ukraine, and why Putin (really the Democrats) did this, plus, your IMs!

The new film from Apichatpong Weerasethakul isn't just a movie – it's a perpetual roadshow, with plans to keep showing the movie from theater to theater indefinitely (check out where it's showing for the next few months). It made a lot of best-of 2021 lists and now that the show is finally on the road, our gang weighs in, joined by LA Times film critic Justing Chang.What's GoodAlonso: A banner week at the Hallmark channelDrea: “Double jury week” and SIFFJustin: Writing about Petite Maman (in clean clothes)Ify: new Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann tattoo; AtlantaITIDICThe tenth Fast and Furious Movie has its titleTom Hanks Reunited With Wilson the Volleyball at Baseball GameArt House Theater Tests Out “Bring a Friend” Ticket Sales StrategyHotline Recs Wild ZeroMindwalkShagKumiko, the Treasure HunterSieranevada (read Justin's review) (Have a question for the hotline?

Nicolas Cage IS Nick Cage in “The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent,” and Alonso and Christy have an early review on Breakfast All Day. This movie is a total blast, and it comes out Friday. We also catch up with the mesmerizing “Memoria,” the latest from Thai master Apichatpong Weerasethakul, which is playing somewhere sometime, possibly near you, in a traveling roadshow format. In news: the “Thor: Love and Thunder” trailer, “Fantastic Beasts” box office, Danny Elfman and Finneas at Coachella, the Johnny Depp/Amber Heard trial and more. And over at our Patreon, we revisit “Rabbit Hole,” April's Off the Menu selection. Thanks as always for joining us!
