Our take

For his first feature made outside his native Thailand, Apichatpong Weerasethakul ventured to Colombia with the great Tilda Swinton. Winner of the Jury Prize at Cannes, Memoria is a dazzling metaphysical mystery whose cosmic cannonades reverberate with the weight of history, memory, and identity.
