Independent Thai film-maker Apichatpong Weerasethakul’s international breakthrough came with the features Blissfully Yours(2002) and Tropical Malady(2004), both of which won prizes at Cannes. His latest is an experimental featurette about a film crew in a forest shooting a romance during the day and music videos at night. Apichatpong describes the results as ‘a small simulation of manners, dedicated to the memories of film-making in the jungle. I picked a pop song, ‘Will I Be Lucky?’ to convey a sense of the guiltless freedom one feels when being hit by love.’
