Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives

A thoughtful but indescribable film by the most famous Thai director

Uncle Boonmee, who is suffering from kidney disease, returns to his native village. He ascends a mountain to the sacred cave of his past lives. His interlocutors and companions turn out to be his sister, his nephew, the ghost of his deceased wife, his long-lost son, who has taken on the form of a black monkey with glowing flashlight eyes, and a Laotian migrant worker.

 "Golden Palm Branch" of the Cannes Film Festival was awarded with an amazing consensus among all present. The director woke up famous after this film.

Rare is the cinephile who will not mention the director's name without hesitation. He himself asks everyone to simply call him Joe.
