Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives (Lung Boonmee Raluek Chat)

Director and visual artist Weerasethakul is known for his dreamy, fantastic works that mix local folk tales and religious beliefs with everyday stories of ordinary Thai people. This is another groundbreaking film that brought its director international fame, a 2010 Thai drama that premiered in Cannes and received Le Palme d'Or from the jury led by Tim Burton. It explores last days of the main character and addresses themes of reincarnation and afterlife, filled with friendly spirits and non-humans. AK
