Apichatpong Weerasethakul follows his fascinating success "Tropical Malady" with another fascinating study of humans gradual disconnection from nature. The film is cut in two parts and both start with the interview of a new doctor in the hospital. While the first hospital is set in the country in the nature, the second one is in a big city where the only sign of nature is the decoration used in the landscape. Weerasethakul's intellectual films are mysterious and strange that demands the audience to dig and find a meaning for themselves. The film is full of symbolism and stories that people. He also juxtaposes the two parts in reversal of each other. There's also subtle humor throughout where the patients give advice the doctors in the hospitals. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
