Country: Thailand
Directed by Apichatpong Weerasethakul
The general influence of Apichatpong Weerasethakul in contemporary independent Thai cinema is really tremendous: watching his films, an entire generation of Thai directors realized that the art of making movies is something much more than to narrate stories with a pleasant way that will satisfy the audience. Even if most of cinephiles are not ready yet to watch something out of the mainstream , under - but of course not only- Apichatpong 's inspiration, the underground film scene really boomed in Thailand , with dozens of young artists willing to explore the limits of their art both thematically and as a form. 'Tropical malady' even if not as 'revolutionary' as other of his works, is a movie that helped Thai cinema to move some steps ahead.
