Episode Synopsis

“Ghosts aren’t attached to places, but to people, to the living.”



Welcome to Season 5! Andrew and Omaya take a look at the award-winning film Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives from Thai director Apichatpong Weerasethakul.

Come learn with us as we try to make sense of this beautifully confounding film.
