RacsO Decade in Review: #52 Tropical Malady

Tropical Malady
Directed by Apichatphong Weerasethakul
2005

I have nothing but undying love to everything that Apichatpong Weerasethankul has made in the past decade.  "Tropical Malady" is somewhat a little deviation from what he normally does, it is a perfect mix of oddity, culture, romanticism in it and he concocted what could be placed beside the works of David Lynch.  But he is in a whole new league of his own, and he seems to be the only one doing this kinds of films.  It was a beautiful mystery, endearing, hypnotic and downright masterful.

The first part is full atmospheric while the second is downright immersive. This is genius filmmaking.
