I'll probably have to watch it again at some point considering my internet started to slow down towards the end, but man I wasn't feeling this one at all. I love a good slow paced art film, but usually that slow pace has to be accompanied with imagery that contains hints of substance to chew on. With Uncle Boonmee none of the time feels well spent, and as a result any hints of interesting imagery that you're presented with feel like wasted opportunities. Clearly this is an expansive and nonlinear puzzle that went over my head, but when the execution feels so bland and lifeless it's hard to warrant an eventual rewatch from me. Really interesting themes but it rarely makes an attempt to engage beyond its pretty looking exterior.
