Finally watched Memoria this week, Apichatpong Weerasethakul's latest #film, set in Colombia and involving Tilda Swinton as a Scottish expat living in MedellÃn, but visiting Bogotá and hearing a sound that unmoors her.
I'll be writing about it in next month's newsletter, but right now I keep coming back to the experience of *listening* that makes up the whole of this gentle film. No greater conflict to the plot. Just movement through the world. As we do. Do you stop to listen, too?
@MLClark can’t wait sounds quite intriguing
@hootenanny Go into it as you would a gentle Miyazaki, just for the experience of moving through the world with the character, and it should hold up!
@MLClark Awesome! Glad you finally got a chance to see this… I’m going to have to have a little Apichatpong Weerasethakul mini-marathon soon. 🙂 @hootenanny
@MLClark @hootenanny nice!!! Sounds wonderful. 💚
