The Making of Memoria with Apichatpong Weerasethakul & Tilda Swinton | NYFF59

Director Apichatpong Weerasethakul and actress Tilda Swinton discuss Memoria, a Main Slate selection at NYFF59, with NYFF Director of Programming Dennis Lim.
Collective and personal ghosts hover over every frame of Memoria, somehow the grandest yet most becalmed of Apichatpong Weerasethakul’s works. Inspired by the Thai director’s own memories and those of people he encountered while traveling across Colombia, the film follows Jessica (a wholly immersed Tilda Swinton), an expat botanist visiting her hospitalized sister in Bogotá; while there, she becomes ever more disturbed by an abyssal sound that haunts her sleepless nights and bleary-eyed days, compelling her to seek help in identifying its origins. Thus begins a personal journey that’s also historical excavation, in a film of profound serenity that, like Jessica’s sound, lodges itself in the viewer’s brain as it traverses city and country, climaxing in an extraordinary extended encounter with a rural farmer that exists on a precipice between life and death. Winner of the Jury Prize at the 2021 Cannes Film Festival. A NEON release.

Fantastic movie. Weerasethakul’s best by far. Kinda hate how exclusionary they’re being about the release, but it’s definitely a top 3 of the year

The best movie I've seen in years. I've watched it twice and am looking forward to another viewing. Even now it's in my personal top ten list.
