Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives

Movie Summary: Suffering from acute kidney failure, Boonmee has chosen to spend his final days surrounded by his loved ones in the countryside. Surprisingly, the ghost of his deceased wife appears to care for him, and his long lost son returns home in a non-human form. Contemplating the reasons for his illness, Boonmee treks through the jungle with his family to a mysterious hilltop cave—the birthplace of his first life.

Queer Film LA Says: This dreamy, surrealistic, have-to-see-it Palm D'Or winner from out auteur Apichatpong Weerasethakul isn't explicitly Queer, though it spins out of a line from his 2004 gay romance Tropical Maladay, in which one young lover's mentions his uncle who can remember past lives.
