Mysterious Object at Noon (2000)Dokfa nai meuman
Winner of the 2010 Cannes Palme d'Or, Thai artist and filmmaker Apichatpong Weerasethakul is recognised as one of contemporary cinema's most unique voices. 'Mysterious Object at Noon' is his hallucinatory debut feature, an extraordinary mix of experimental documentary and fiction. The film is structured as a surrealist game; a small film-crew travel the Thai countryside asking people they encounter along the way to invent the next chapter of a story. The daisy-chain structure of interlocking vignettes - alternately fantastical, comic and workaday - result in a boldly original debut that looks and feels like nothing else. - Director:
- Apichatpong Weerasethakul
- Cast:
- Djuangjai Hirunsri, Kongkiat Khomsiri, Saisiri Xoomsai
