Cemetery of Splendour
A hypnotic wonder that delves into Thailand’s myths and traditions
Friday 22 – Sunday 24 July, 2016
Running time: 2h2m
Soldiers afflicted by a mysterious sleeping sickness are stationed in a temporary clinic in a former school. A young medium named Keng helps visitors communicate with their comatose loved ones, while a volunteer, Jenjira, senses there may be a connection between the soldiers’ enigmatic syndrome and the ancient, mythic site on which the clinic is built. Visionary filmmaker Apichatpong Weerasethakul’s new film is a hypnotic wonder that delves into the myths, traditions and political attitudes of his native Thailand.
