clem! Did you ever give Memoria a second shot?!

Never did post here about seeing Memoria -- caught it at one of some irregular Alamo screenings here last September. Very involving, I thought, and I'm glad for the experience.

It's been almost two years since Memoria screened at Cannes and won the Jury Prize, and it looks like it isn't going to be available on streaming or on dvd in the US any time soon, although it is continuing to be shown at a few various small theaters around the country for one day or one week at a time.
That strategy has some brilliance, I see that it is trying to build a cult audience, but it is also very frustrating

Just got this from the library, excited to watch sometime this week.
UNCLE BOONMEE WHO CAN RECALL HIS PAST LIVES (Apichatpong Weerasethakul, 2010) Apichatpong Weerasethakul’s Sensory Meridian Response is a wonderful thing. In the Thai genius’s movies, the characters speak slowly and hypnotically, usually in tandem with a soothing symphony of buzzing insects. Uncle Boonmee, in particular, depicts a somnolent environment in which ghosts, monsters and humans peacefully co-exist. Subsequently, the soundscape is two hours of pure pleasure, including an “aural” sex scene between a princess and a catfish that amounts to ASMR-esque ripples of water and an occasional moan. As Weerasethakul encourages viewers to fall asleep during his movies, his entire back catalogue can be appreciated with closed eyes. So much so, the director released an album of “selected soundworks” from his filmography, including the jungle noises from Uncle Boonmee.

on a recent long flight I had put a rip of Syndromes and a Century on my iPad and expected it to not quite work in that context, but I was drawn in and mesmerised as always. I have no idea how he sustains such a hold during long, slow takes. I find his stuff transformative to watch. I think I’m kind of addicted to how it feels.

Oh man, he's introducing Goodbye, Dragon Inn — which I think is his favorite film. I'd love to see that on a big screen.

So I made it exactly 3 minutes into Uncle Boonmee before I fell asleep. Not gonna lie, i allowed myself to nap through the entire thing. 10/10, mostly for the audio, and also for the occasional glimpses of the film i caught whenever i remembered to open my eyes.
Will rewatch 'properly' before I return it, needless to say his album of "selected soundworks" has jumped to the top of my wantlist.
