Product Description

Blissfully Yours (Sud sanaeha) A film by Apichatpong Weerasethakul Thailand / 2002 2002 Cannes Film Festival / Best Film Un Certain Regard 2003 Rotterdam Film Festival / KNF Award 2003 Buenos Aires Film Festival / Best Director and FIPRESCI Prize 2002 AFI Festival / Nominated - Grand Jury Prize 2002 Thessaloniki Film Festival / Winner Golden Alexander

Innovative and enigmatic, Blissfully Yours is a languid celebration of the pleasures of the moment. In Apichatpongs heady, sensual and playful film, a leisurely road trip and a picnic in the jungle give way to uninhibited emotion and intercourse. A meditation on happiness, superstition, politics, sexuality and the uncertainty of Thai-Burmese border crossings, nothing really happens except that it happens with a purpose. Blissfully Yours confirms the reputation of one of the most distinctive new filmmakers in world cinema.

The film then takes on the quality of a complex tapestry of unconnected, yet strangely connected, moments, and every thing falls asleep - a symphony
