Mysterious Object at Noon
Based around the surrealist story-telling device known as 'Exquisite Corpse', this unique film from Thailand had the director travelling around villages asking people to contribute a sentence to a story, even though they largely don't know what other contributions came before theirs. While the story in itself is captivating, this is more a portrait of Thailand's disenfranchised lower classes and their vivid, and for the most part, unexamined lives. A fascinaating experiment.
