Film
Memoria (12A)
Dir. Apichatpong Weerasethakul, 2021, China/Colombia/France, 136 minutes, some subtitles. Cast. Tilda Swinton, Elkin Diaz, Jeanne Balibar.
Shot and set in Colombia, Apichatpong Weerasethakul’s meditative rumination on memory and the human condition is anchored by Tilda Swinton’s enigmatic, otherworldly presence. Visiting her sister in Bogota, Jessica is woken up by a loud bang, audible only to her. Restless and disoriented, she roams the city in search of an explanation for the mysterious sound, becoming immersed in the aural richness around her – whispers in a hospital room, sound effects playing in an editing studio, indiscreet noises from a city square. The film’s commitment to sound allows us to follow Jessica to the threshold of personal and collective memory and provides a rare cinematic experience that will reverberate for a long time to come.
