Sud sanaeha (Blissfully Yours)
Apichatpong Weerasethakul, Thailand 2002, 125’, subs
Inspired by an incident in which Apichatpong Weerasethakul witnessed two teenage illegal immigrants arrested, his second feature, the disarming Sud sanaeha, is set in a small town near the Myanmar border. A young woman plans a romantic day with her illegal-immigrant boyfriend and the couple is joined by another woman when they take a pleasure trip into the jungle. Chicago Tribune film critic Michael Wilmington called the film ‘heatedly lyrical, boldly sexual and droll: a triumphant dramatic feature debut'.
