Syndromes and a Century

"A shot of pure filmmaking joy."--Philadelphia City Paper

Young Thai director Apichatpong Weerasethakul (a past Wexner Center residency award recipient and visiting filmmaker) has received his most rapturous reviews yet for Syndromes and a Century, his latest essential film.

Set in two times and places--a historical country hospital and a modern urban one--it tells the story of two reticent romances (or is it one romance told twice?). Weerasethakul is regarded as one of the most unusual and visionary directors to emerge in the 21st century, and this film is again filled with delightful mysteries and delicate moods.
