287. Manta ray (2018)

Country: Thailand Directed by Phuttiphong Aroonpheng A powerful, captivating movie that approaches with a humanistic and poetical way the refugee issues in general, Manta Ray ends up as the reflection of the guilty conscience of the Thai society for the crimes that were committed by the Thai state against the Rohingya people during the recent Rohingya refugee crisis. However, more than anything else, even if we take the film out of its political context, Manta Ray, inspired directly from the magical and mystic world of Apitchatpong Weerasethakul, is a visually stunning film, a small precious stone that shines in the bushes of a Thai jungle at night
