gather the energy

to the back of your neck.

Let it collect there.

Once it's gathered then...

I'm a volunteer...

I heard that you had no relatives.

I know...

I could hear you in my sleep.

So you already know me, then.

Sorry.

I'm sorry... I... a lot.

What?

I'm sorry that I peed a lot.

I can't move.

Move what?

My arm.

I'm going to let go.

Try it again.

Higher.

You should get up

before you fall asleep again.

Let me help you.

OK?

What is it?

Slowly, or your head will spin.

Let's sit here.

Have you seen my phone charger?

I don't know.

I want to contact my family.

I saved the number in my phone.

But I can't find the charger.

Are you from the south?

Does my accent give me away?

You have darker skin.

But with a strange accent.

My mom is from the west.

Can you speak Southern Thai?

How can you speak it?

It's a talent I have.

How's my lsan dialect?

How's my lsan dialect?

How's my lsan dialect?

Keep eating the local chilli paste

and your accent will improve.

Tasty food, right?

Yes it is.

Honey!

It's not your bedtime yet.

Today, I present you

with my best offerings.

You'll like them.

May my family possess good health

and happiness.

May I retain my beauty

with no wrinkles.

May ltt, my new son, wake up again.

Honey,

help me please.

This is the cheetah,

to help strengthen my leg.

And this...

It's a gibbon.

I don't know the english name.

It's to make your hand strong.

Oh, good! Thank you.

And this tiger.

It's for our new son to be stronger.

We have a new son?

Yes, his name ltt. I told you.

I see.

Yeah, he's a good man.

He serve the nation.

You are foreigner.

You won't get it, honey.

No, no, I do understand.

I know you're very patriotic.

- Please.

- OK.

Be careful, huh.

Your sense of colour is really nice.

The housewives will love

the pink and fluorescent green.

They have good taste around here.

Why don't you do

the car-boot sale everyday?

Just weekends is enough for me.

The library doesn't look busy,

but there's a lot to do.

It's also hard to compete for a space

at the market.

- Have a seat.

- OK.

Thanks so much for these longkongs.

You're welcome.

They're from my orchard.

I have a lot of longkong trees.

And I don't use pesticides.

Your house must be very big

to have an orchard.

Do you want to visit?

You don't mind?

How about today?

Maybe some other time.

So that I can bring my camera, too.

Up to you.

Did you read

the latest volume of "Satan's Love"?

- It just arrived.

- Really? Which shelf is it on?

Wait here.

I've been away from home

for a long time.

Where's your home?

Very far away. I really miss it.

- Care to join me?

- OK.

Do you want some?

They look good.

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…
