Sydney Film Festival: By the Time it Gets Dark

@ Dendy Opera Quays

$17 - $19.90 + bf

The exciting rise of Thai experimental cinema continues with Anocha Suwichakornpong's surreal meditation on the passage of time and the quest for truth.

The long-awaited second feature by Suwichakornpong (Mundane History, 2009) begins Ann is a filmmaker attempting to dramatise the 1976 military clampdown that still resonates powerfully in the collective Thai consciousness. Struggling to capture the truth, Ann's mind begins to wander in visually arresting and intellectually stimulating directions. Her dream of a hallucinatory experience in a forest initiates a hypnotic stream of consciousness, in which characters change appearances and scenes are replayed from radically different perspectives. This magical mystery tour into memory and perception is brilliantly edited and superbly photographed.
