more than somewhat of a stretch, the readings of the pop psychoanalyst and pseudo philosopher in this perverts guide might be accused of marring forever the way you will watch some classic films ranging from psycho to the great dictator. is it all supposed to be serious or fun is never really clear- but after many tedious pontifcations regarding the superego and the death wish in ‘alien resurrection’ we had to give the film a break.
so much more and so different is the short 15 minutes of sublime bliss that apichatpong weerasethakul manages to create in ‘luminous people’. a group of villagers is traveling in a boat recreating a ritual after a death. somehow in every frame captured lies real life- palpable and awe inspiring in every single gesture and act.
