The TVI Take
Apichatpong Weerasethakul's 2004 Cannes Jury Prize-winning Thai film about a soldier and a country boy whose romantic relationship transforms into a mythic-folktale structure in the second half. The structural commitment to bisecting the film into two seemingly-unrelated halves (the modern romance and the jungle myth) at the canonical Apichatpong slow-pace formal register established the director as a major international voice.
