Uncle, it's your turn.

- Hello, Doctor.

- Hello.

How are you feeling?

I lost my appetite and I can't sleep.

- Are you stressed out?

- Not really.

Worried about

the Agricultural Bank loan?

Maybe that's part of it.

But my body just won't sleep.

- How so?

- I feel tired but I can't sleep.

We're expanding the kitchen.

What colour do you want?

Brown.

Brown?

Would you like floor tiles?

He doesn't know what they are.

How can he not?

In the olden days,

the kitchen was outside.

I heard he has a mistress.

Tell me where he's hiding her.

I'm seeing his past life now.

Why? Please focus on the present.

He's sitting somewhere.

There is someone with him.

Who is it?

I can't see clearly.

I want to know.

Try to focus, please.

Our problem

is that we think too much.

All day, and all night...

At night, we call it dreaming...

We all dream.

We can't stop them.

Thoughts are the same.

Since we can't stop them,

we must become more aware.

Aware of our thoughts,

and of our dreams.

[The sea can be violent

or still with no pattern...]

[My family is very ordinary...]

Heaven and hell, merit and sin

are all suppositions.

Don't put too much faith in them.

Meditation trains your mind.

The visions we see are caused

by chemical reactions in our brain.

[Everyone has his own karma.]

[I pleaded to the gods

for my next life.]

[Life is like candlelight.]

When you sleep,

your mind is still active.

[When he sees his nephew,

he always asks why he's so thin.]

["Don't you buy him milk?"]

[They held hands...]

[He was the youngest one...]

Anyone can achieve awareness

if they train their mind.

[HELLO]

Let's do a simple exercise.

Don't think too much about it.

Sit up straight.

And slowly close your eyes.

Focus on your upper body

and your brain.

Pull your thoughts down

into your body.

All the way down to your feet.

Focus on your face now.

What does it look like?

Look at yourself.

Your eyebrows.

Your eyes.

Try to imagine them.

What are your ears like?

Focus on your mouth.

And now your chin.

Slowly move your focus up.

To the tip of your nose.

Let it spread out.

Away from your body.

Until it fills the entire room.

Move this ball of energy

to the field outside.

Once it's outside, let it expand.

Let it float into the sky.

Until it reaches the moon.

From the moon,

let it spread to the stars.

It's spread to all the stars now.

Now pull that energy back.

Slowly pull it back into yourself.

If your stomach hurts,

let the energy flow to your stomach.

Let it heal you.

If you have cancer,

hypertension, diabetes or AIDS,

let this energy come in and heal you.

Until you feel better.

Once you feel better,

Apichatpong Weerasethakul

Apichatpong "Joe" Weerasethakul (born July 16, 1970) is a Thai independent film director, screenwriter, and film producer. His feature films include Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives, winner of the prestigious 2010 Cannes Film Festival Palme d'Or prize; Tropical Malady, which won a jury prize at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival; Blissfully Yours, which won the top prize in the Un Certain Regard program at the 2002 Cannes Film Festival; Syndromes and a Century, which premiered at the 63rd Venice Film Festival and was the first Thai film to be entered in competition there; and Cemetery of Splendour, which premiered in the Un Certain Regard section of the 2015 Cannes Film Festival to critical acclaim. Weerasethakul has received numerous additional accolades, including the 2016 Principal Prince Claus Award. Working outside the strict confines of the Thai film studio system, Weerasethakul has directed several features and dozens of short films. Themes reflected in his films (frequently discussed in interviews) include dreams, nature, sexuality (including his own homosexuality), and Western perceptions of Thailand and Asia, and his films display a preference for unconventional narrative structures (like placing titles/credits at the middle of a film) and for working with non-actors. Cinephiles affectionately refer to him as "Joe" (a nickname that he, like many with similarly long Thai names, has adopted out of convenience). more…
