Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives 2010
I know the dead are among us
I live and breathe their words
Their voices guide me
Their presence calms me
Thoughts come and go
As I listen to the forest
The souls of the past gather around me
I've seen them in the mists at dawn
I've heard them in the rainy hour
I've felt them in glow of night, looming under rooftops
My own child, a visage once returned
That ancient cave not ten years before
I saw an apparition
A beautiful ghost on an endless shore
A phantasm floating over water
A monkey in the trees
I know the dead are among usTranslated from by

Perhaps this all-capturing eye is the camera, and the memory is film; wandering with curiosity and wonder. An extraterrestrial guide who demonstrates through images how the smallest gestures play alongside the largest deeds; all one on this holy sphere. To them, life is a grand opera, echoing out into the infinite void. And we are all a poem, aching with cosmic melancholy.

Beau Travail 1999
Denis’ deconstruction of masculinity and male physicality prods into the psyche of tortured minds, bringing us into a dreamlike landscape of flesh and sand, all woven into one. It functions as a collection of memories told through beautiful imagery and static frames, allowing us to intuit what we already sense. Every sequence is placed perfectly, communicating exactly what it needs without giving too much away.
The way the men of the legion exist conjures some odd mythic tale; sculpted, statuesque figures…
