Blissfully Yours

(SUD SANAEHA, Apichatpong Weerasethakul, Thailand/France 2002, Thai/Burmese/subtitles, 125 min.)

In modern Bangkok, two women are planning to help an illegal Burmese immigrant search for a job; instead, they find themselves entangled in a sexual odyssey in the middle of the jungle. The uniquely framed storyline (the opening credits appear after 45 minutes!) constantly shifts between realism and mythology, bringing the characters from the cynical world of low-wage jobs to an overwhelmingly beautiful wilderness.
