Apichatpong Weerasethakul aka Joe is a filmmaker whose work I've been very interested in ever since I saw Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives. So far having seen only two films of his, I can say that they are unlike anything I know of. They're incredibly rich spiritually and have the ability to be simultaneously in some ways quite complex, yet very simple. With Tropical Malady Joe once again blew me away, but on this first watch, with a slightly smaller impact than with Uncle Boonmee. I can see how on repeated viewings, one can get so much more out of his films.
