Memoria 2021
Of all the praise to lay at the feet of Apichatpong Weerasethakul, one of the most arresting and profound artists at work today, the best I can think to offer him, right now, is this:
In an age of absolutely untrammeled chaos, anxiety, and the sheer overwhelming buzz and roar of day-to-day urban living, his work—both thematically and explicitly—acts as a tonic, a restoration of our ability to center ourselves; serene, meditative, and open again to the possibilities of the present moment.

The Assassin 2015
Not enough to say that this is among the best-looking films I've ever seen; Hou uses color with a freedom and expressiveness that I typically associate with painting, animation or, for that matter, hand-tinted silent films.
