A Nutshell Review: Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives
For those who have not heard of Thai filmmaker and artist Apichatpong Weerasethakul, I guess you must have heard of his latest film Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives, winning the Palme d’Or at last year’s Cannes Film Festival, and being the first Southeast Asian director to do so. That should interest you to take that leap of faith to experience the coming of Uncle Boonmee yourself, and that feeling of being frustrated yet enthralled, fascinated yet perplexed, all at the same time, fighting to stay engaged, and making sense of the visuals flitting around dreamscapes.

This film is like a diamond with many different cuts made to make it shine, each representing a facet from which you can choose to look at, or interpret from. Like a prism which dissipates light shone on it, your take on this film will likely be entirely different from mine, and what more, you’ll probably have different takes on each of the different aspects of the film, since the scenes that make it up are as disparate as can be. It makes the film going experience a little more interesting since it’s open, and never crystal clear given the takeaways for one based on one’s journey in life thus far.

At its crux, the story is exactly that of its title, where we see Uncle Boonmee (Thanapat Saisaymar) living the last days of his life with kidney failure, choosing like most Asians do with the preference to live out the last days at the comfort of one’s home, rather than at a sterile hospital. It is said that those on the death bed will see their life flash pass their eyes, but for Uncle Boonmee, his plodding walk toward the light at the end of the tunnel, means giving the film a lot more exploratory path to tread on, with a look at what his past lives were as well, ranging from the suggested buffalo, to even a member of the aristocracy (and that much talked about scene with the catfish. Hmm… maybe he could be the catfish too!)

Things get a lot stranger of course, even as it seems that Boonmee can remember his previous lives before reincarnation. As far as my limited grasp of that process goes, one has to drink up a liquid that will make you forget what you’ve gone through, and one’s karma accumulation has bearings on what next you’ll be incarnated, with the human form being quite OK, rather than an animal. I suppose Boonmee in his previous life did OK to be reincarnated as a human in this life, and in his last days get visited by his late wife (Natthakarn Aphaiwonk) with whom he shares a poignant, heart-wrenching scene with, and also a visit from his son (Geerasak Kulhong behind heavy makeup), whom you’d have already have an idea of from the various promotional material, and no, he’s not captured in a picture just because the camera did not have an anti-red eye function.

Don’t be shy if you don’t understand the film. For starters, I suppose any film based on dreams and fantasy opens itself up to a lot of leeway in interpretation, and not taking everything verbatim, verbose or literal. Even the auteur himself has said that you “don’t need to understand everything” in an interview with The Guardian, probably a relief for those like me who emerged from the screening with more questions than to know where to begin asking them. Like most art films, this one moves at a leisurely pace, and is filled with plenty of art house sensibilities and techniques, and while I won’t say will reward the patient viewer, it will challenge you to think through about what you’ve just seen, and I felt it was easier to make sense of individual scenes, than as a whole when trying to fit the jigsaw in a coherent fashion.

To paraphrase Bruce Lee, this film is like water, having no form of its own, yet taking up form based on the viewer’s individual experience and interpretation. I guess that’s what makes Uncle Boonmee unique, coming from a filmmaker who’s bold to conceptualize this piece of art that works itself through different strokes for different folks.

Watching at Double Time Didn’t Help Much
Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives (1:54, NR) — fantasy: supernatural, bargain basement, original

I didn’t see this movie in a theater, but it had been getting good buzz, so I tracked it down on DVD. Some good came out of this, as I am now able to warn everybody else away from it.

I’ve got to give the film-makers credit for daring in being able to cram 20 minutes of what passes for plot into nearly 2 hours of running time. About half an hour in, I hit “fast forward” and watched the rest of the movie at double speed. AFAICT it didn’t detract a bit from the story. Due to the exceedingly languid pace of absolutely everything, I was easily able to keep up with the sparse and lingering subtitles (except when, maddeningly, they committed the cardinal sin of continuing to use all-white lettering over a light-colored background).

Everybody in the movie seems to have ODed on Prozac. Nobody has any facial expression or (during the time when I had the original sound on) vocal inflection. There are vast amounts of standing around, interrupted only occasionally by vast amounts of sitting around and lying around. There are extended (2-8 minute) scenes of a guy taking a shower, 3 people reclining on a bed watching TV (which isn’t visible to us), people sitting on the floor of a cave, people riding in a car, bubbles rising thru turbid water, and an escaped ox walking thru the forest. During none of these is a single word spoken. In all of them combined, the camera moves maybe 5 times. Nor does it feel compelled to switch (via either cut or zoom) from listeners to speakers. And, in case I hadn’t stressed it adequately, the listeners show absolutely no facial reaction whatsoever to what’s being said. None. It’s as if they also had massive injections of Botox to go with their Prozac.

There is a single action scene. A princess (otherwise completely unrelated to the rest of the story) wades into a pond, discarding jewelry and clothing as she goes, does a back float, and allows a big catfish to have carnal knowledge of her. The princess is as soporific as all the other humans, but at least the fish seemed to be having a good time. More than I can say for me.

You remember how everybody smirked at the rubber-suited critters in the early Godzilla movies, or the other el cheapo creature features of the 1950s? Those guys would get Academy Awards for costuming compared to the dollar-store discards here.

I was half expecting to see Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland jump out at the end and say “Hey, kids, we’ve been putting on a show, with people who have never seen a show before and have no idea how to do one. Hasn’t this been fun?”

No. No, it hasn’t. Please don’t ever do this again.
