Apichatpong Weerasethakul - Syndromes and a Century DVD VG/VG"Syndromes and a Century," directed by Apichatpong Weerasethakul, is a 2006 Thai film that explores themes of memory, identity, and the passage of time through two distinct halves. Inspired by the director's parents, both doctors, the film presents two variations of a narrative set in hospitals, one rural and sunlit, the other urban and fluorescent lit. It's a film that blurs the lines between reality and dream, and defies easy interpretation.
