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.
