Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives

Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives

Film review by: Witney Seibold

 

          Apichatpong Weerasethakul’s newest metaphysical bout of gently meditative and oddly sensational magical realism is strangely wonderful. It’s a film that moves like philosophy, but contains the elements of a supernatural mystery.

I don’t know about you, but I’m comforted by the fact that Liam Neeson is a viable action star. He’ll be 59 this year, and is still being sold as not only a bear-like tough-guy, who can throw punches, drive fast cars, and fly through the air while firing two guns and going argh, but also as a charming sex symbol who can easily be on the main entre menu of both Diane Kruger and January Jones.

          Many recent R-rated comedies – and Judd Apatow may be responsible for this – are about a certain breed of maturity-averse man-children, who must, through a horrible upending of their usual comforting lifestyle (the introduction of a pregnancy, upcoming nuptials, the grind of everyday marriage), must learn to grow up for realsies.
