While operating on an otherworldly metaphysical level in terms of
storytelling and imagery and belonging to two radically different socio-
and chrono-political contexts, this week’s both core films are embedded
in fierce political engagement of their directors. In Baumgartel
(2012), Weerasethakul himself claims that his film is “not a personal
story” as his “interests have shifted, because of what is going on in
this country” (p. 184). This is the first out of the two questions
shaping this one-page paper:
1. What was the political situation in Thailand (and Laos) that the
filmmaker responded so vehemently against? How does it manifest itself
in the film?
The second question potentially concerns a wide array of scenes to
choose from. This might be an inaccurate prediction, but I do guess that
some of you will find Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall Hist Past Lives
to be a chore: it’s slow and meticulous, it reads like a fantasy but
is, at the same time, closely set in a real-life political context. It
is a lesson in patience, which, however frustrating, could also actually
be a rare occasion for you to experience such a time-based
film-watching experience.
2. Choose one scene from the film that does not
feature the title character. What story does it tell? How is the story
told? How do you understand the story and what makes you think so? How
does the story relate to the main plot (and, also, what IS the main plot
about?)? Don’t be satisfied with readymade and glib answers. Watch the
scene closely and pay attention to details.
