Humid Train Track Parlour Games

Mysterious Object at Noon (2000)
directed by Apichatpong Weerasethakul
rating: 4 out of 5 cravats
on DVD from Netflix

The part of me that feels exhausted in art museums after twenty minutes wants to confess that I didn't know where this one was going until I read Weerasethakul's reference to the surrealists' Exquisite Corpse experiments online. Which might mean that people have to tell me what it is I like, in which case I'm happy to be told to like the gentle, deeply invested Mysterious Object at Noon.
