Country: Thailand
Directed by Anocha Suwichakornpong
One of the most significant movies of the Thai new wave cinema, 'Mundane history' is a film that has a rather simple storyline but a complexity in its content, as it has readings at so many levels that it's hard to be fully understood. Thai politics, history, comments about the social enequality, allegories, Buddhism, even cosmology or existentialism, are only some of the elements of a film that, even if left us with the feeling that it underperformed its fully potential, manages to bring everything together beautifully at the end
