  Memoria 2021

  ★★★★ Watched by nat 14 May 2022

  the sound. the thing that isolates, that is inexplicable and imperceptible to all except to the self, is secretly the thing that binds one overwhelming to the collective. mesmerising, even jaw-dropping in its climax, reaching an intensity through sound despite an immovable camera. i can't think of a film whose sound design left such an impression on me. i love weerasethakul's playful, quietly expansive style so much and to have experienced his sensorial world in a theater once again is such a blessing.

  After Yang 2021

  ★★★★ Watched by nat 27 Apr 2022
