It's OK.

I've touched way too many penises

in my life.

May I?

How amazing.

HELLO:

Hello.

Hello.

I'm with Poy.

Why? He's just a friend.

Can we go and see you?

He asked if we can go and see you.

Does he have cute friends?

Do you have cute friends?

He says he has lots.

We'll go and see you, OK?

Do you want fried mussel pancake?

No, I haven't finished this dish yet.

Can you smell the dipping sauce?

The smell is very sharp to me.

Soy sauce and sugar.

What does sugar smell like?

I can separate all the smells

in this market...

Really?

I can feel the temperatures

of the lights.

You're like Superman.

It's true.

I can smell the flowers

in my dreams, too.

Yeah?

That's an important quality

for a good soldier.

How about your husband?

He's a soldier, like you...

But not from your unit.

He's from America.

Congratulations!

Well, I don't know.

My English is not good...

We met online.

I could type

and look at the dictionary.

There was time.

But now,

I don't understand all that he says.

You should drink lots of coffee.

Will you go to the States?

He sold everything there.

He won't go back.

Wow, sounds serious.

It's funny.

He took several long flights

to get here.

Maybe he's on a wanted list there.

Maybe he's a terrorist.

Watch your mouth!

I checked with the embassy.

Does he miss home?

I don't think so.

Why?

He's quiet and likes to be alone.

He doesn't like the night life.

Doesn't he get lonely?

Who does he talk to?

He has me to talk to.

Are you full?

Do you want some custard?

Does he look like his online picture?

Well, he's a little fatter.

How fat?

Around this fat.

If he's that fat,

he must be a high ranking soldier.

But he's been retired for a while.

Isn't it too hot for him here?

Will you stop?

Amongst humans, the most brilliant

are those who are disciplined.

Honey?

I'm the only one who's awake here.

I just remember a homework...

I forgot send to the teacher

long years ago.

And also strange animal in the lake.

To this day,

I don't know what it was.

In the water it was weightless...

and calm.

It's now floating in my head...

in my heart.

I...

I'm glad you're up early today,

little pup.

Me too.

I'm a simple woman.

I like to eat street food like this.

But if I'm with Richard,

we have to watch his cholesterol.

What can't he eat?

Sticky rice, pork, not even Pepsi...

ls Pepsi high in cholesterol?

Guess so.

And pig's entrails.

All intestines.

(Hey, b0)'-

Come here.

Go away!

You're too kind.

It's just hungry like us.

I want to quit the army.

What are you going to do?

I'm good at many things.

What are they?

I want to sell moon cakes.

I make tasty ones.

Taiwanese style.

What is Taiwanese style like?

Soft with a lot of egg whites.

A thin crust

and a lot of green bean filling.

I can sell them

at gas stations in lsan.

That involves quite an investment.

I see no future in being a soldier.

I mainly wash cars for the generals.

Welcome everyone.

Ladies, gentlemen and children.

My name is Jeed.

I'm sure you recognise me from TV.

I look just like Leena Jung.

On TV and the radio.

And now I'm here in the flesh.

I'm very happy to be here today.

I want to show you

an unbelievable product.

It seems impossible.

But look at this.

This is a piece of rubber.

We can grow rubber in Thailand.

What's amazing about this

is that it's made from rubber

but we can use it for our skin.

Another thing is that

it can rid us housewives

of the loneliness in our lives.

Most of you are housewives.

- Not this woman though.

- That's right.

- What do you do?

- I work at City Hall.

A city official here in uniform.

Thanks for skipping work to see me.

Please give her a big hand.

Thank you.

We have members nationwide.

I've travelled around the country.

Khon Kaen women are so gorgeous.

Do I look like I'm from lsan?

I don't look it, right?

Because I'm too beautiful

to be from lsan?

Every woman has beauty inside.

I'm from Buriram Province.

So I understand how lsan people feel.

How they want to look.

We have an emotional bond.

What do I mean?

It means

we can understand each other.

This cream is certified

by Chulalongkorn University.

I'm not making it up.

And now,

what you've been waiting for.

You get to try this special cream.

My assistants will hand out samples.

Please come up here.

Numbers 1 to 10.

Numbers 11 to 30.

If you didn't register, don't worry.

There's enough for everyone.

Give me your hand.

I'll apply it for you.

Feels cool, right?

Do you usually use hand cream?

Try this.

You only have to apply it once a day.

Just once a day.

Other creams you have to re-apply.

Keng, is that you?

I'm so happy to see you here!

I saw you walking over.

Really? Why are you here?

To give you this gift, of course.

- How nice.

- Open it.

- Is this a legitimate product?

- Of course.

You're here as a police spy, aren't you?

Don't tell anyone.

But you have to try it, sister.

Your skin will glow.

This cream is for your face.

But you can use it on your body.

So you buy more.

For a man, his skin is very smooth.

Because he uses this cream.

What did you use before?

Generic stuff.

Why did you switch to this one?

Because it works.

You let me try it for free.

So I tried it out, and it worked.

What's wrong?

The smell.

It smells like that fluid.

What fluid?

That stuff people call cum.

How could you think of that?

Take a sniff.

- It smells like this?

- Yes.

Oh, I can breathe easier.

See? That's its power.

My b*obs are perking up.

Don't tease me!

But, it's true.

Read this.

The weather is perfect for a nap.

Let's have our daily session.

We have bigger sets too.

I can give you a discount.

Let me finish this set first.

He's asking me if you want to see.

See what?

What he's seeing.

How can I see?

Through my body.

If so, then...

This would be an amazing afternoon.

Goodbye, sister.

Hello.

N'?

I'm trying to believe that it's you.

Yes, I'm m.

I'm standing in the throne hall.

Is there anybody else with you?

Come with me.

Follow me.

Where are we going?

The ceiling here is not that high.

It can be quite suffocating.

Duck your head.

I don't think I'll hit it.

You must come here often

when you sleep.

What is it?

It's the threshold.

Step over it.

Like this?

That's right.

We have reached the Grand Hall.

It's so lavish.

There are many other rooms.

These are our orchids.

The senior citizens club

organised them.

We each grew one and took care of it.

Something to keep us occupied.

Here, this is my orchid.

See? My name is on the sign.

When it blooms, we use the bag

to protect it from insects.

Let me help.

You can have it.

The bag'?

The flower, silly.

It's not doing so well.

I haven't been back for awhile.

Let it breathe a little bit.

Let's go.

Itt, look at those figs.

We should dip them in chilli sauce.

Here.

The flood marks from a few years ago.

The water came up to here.

Apichatpong Weerasethakul

Apichatpong "Joe" Weerasethakul (born July 16, 1970) is a Thai independent film director, screenwriter, and film producer. His feature films include Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives, winner of the prestigious 2010 Cannes Film Festival Palme d'Or prize; Tropical Malady, which won a jury prize at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival; Blissfully Yours, which won the top prize in the Un Certain Regard program at the 2002 Cannes Film Festival; Syndromes and a Century, which premiered at the 63rd Venice Film Festival and was the first Thai film to be entered in competition there; and Cemetery of Splendour, which premiered in the Un Certain Regard section of the 2015 Cannes Film Festival to critical acclaim. Weerasethakul has received numerous additional accolades, including the 2016 Principal Prince Claus Award. Working outside the strict confines of the Thai film studio system, Weerasethakul has directed several features and dozens of short films. Themes reflected in his films (frequently discussed in interviews) include dreams, nature, sexuality (including his own homosexuality), and Western perceptions of Thailand and Asia, and his films display a preference for unconventional narrative structures (like placing titles/credits at the middle of a film) and for working with non-actors. Cinephiles affectionately refer to him as "Joe" (a nickname that he, like many with similarly long Thai names, has adopted out of convenience). more…
