This mysterious film by Thai writer and director Pen-Ek Ratanaruang reminds of Apichatpong Weerasethakul's much superior "Tropical Malady" in many ways. A woman joins her photographer husband on a trip to the jungle where he disappears but seems like a changed man after his return. Ratanaruang points at mysteries of nature without giving much explanation where a seamless connection exists beyond the knowledge of humans. One of the last films produced by Dutch producer Wouter Barendrecht before his untimely death. YRCinema's coverage of the San Francisco International Film Festival.
