Direction
Joe's signature patient dread in under 20 minutes.
Cinematography
Jungle as liminal space—beautiful and hostile.
Director
Apichatpong Weerasethakul
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Part of Weerasethakul's 'Primitive' multimedia project exploring Nabua, a village with violent military history. The Nok Phii legend becomes a lens for real hauntings.
Apichatpong shot this between Syndromes and a Century and Uncle Boonmee, using the same crew members as fictionalized versions of themselves. The blurring is intentional.
