Five years after winning Cannes’ Palme d’Or Prize for Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives, Thai auteur Apichatpong Weerasethakul finally delivers his long-awaited follow-up, a sublime fantasy drama about an unusual friendship that blossoms between a young patient (Benlop Lomnoi) at a rural clinic for soldiers suffering from a mysterious sleeping ailment and a middle-aged volunteer (Jenjira Pongpas Widner) who works there. Transcendently beautiful and oddly humorous, Cemetery of Splendour brings politics and magical realism together to create a wondrous, surreal work of art that is one of the director’s best works.
