« Tropical Malady" takes the viewer on a mysterious and sporadically fascinating trip into the darkness of the human heart and Thai legend » |
| |
« Apichatpong Weerasethakul’s fable Tropical Malady is a wonderful exploration of a perennial theme: what makes a human being more than an animal? (…) Along the way, the director gives evidence of a wonderful eye for the ironies that proliferate in contemporary Thai culture. (…) A gorgeous, transporting fugue that brilliantly combines transcendent poetic language, deep spirituality, glorious visuals, and sounds and music that reverberate on a profound level. » |

« Tropical Malady is without contest the most astounding film of Cannes 2004. And it is also, undoubtedly, among the greatest of these last years. » |
