Cemetery of Splendor
Directed by Apichatpong Weerasethakul
Produced by The Match Factory, Louverture Films
A meditative, spiritually infused meditation on illness, mortality, and transcendent connection, told through dreamlike imagery and metaphysical tenderness.
In a hospital, ten soldiers are being treated for a mysterious sleeping sickness. In a story in which dreams can be experienced by others, and in which goddesses can sit casually with mortals, a nurse learns the reason why the patients will never be cured, and forms a telepathic bond with one of them.
