Memoria
Apichatpong Weerasethakul / TH, CO, FR, DE, MX, 2021 / 136 min.
Tilda Swinton plays an orchid expert who hears a mysterious noise, then tries to solve the mystery of its origin. For the first time, Apichatpong Weerasethakul filmed outside of Thailand – in Colombia – for this enchanting English/Spanish-language masterpiece, winner of the Jury Prize at the Cannes film festival.
Jessica (Tilda Swinton) is a Scottish orchid specialist who is woken from sleep in Bogotá by a loud noise. The sound, which apparently only Jessica can hear, is of an eerie beauty that seems to be part of the surrounding landscape – either the bustling streets of Bogotá or the verdant mountains, where she is visiting an archaeologist. But is the sound real, or is it in her head?
