From the extraordinary mind of Palme D’or winning director Apichatpong Weerasethakul (UNCLE BOONMEE WHO CAN RECALL HIS PAST LIVES), and starring Academy Award winner Tilda Swinton, comes a bewildering drama about a Scottish woman, who, after hearing a loud ‘bang’ at daybreak, begins experiencing a mysterious sensory syndrome while traversing the jungles of Colombia. With Jeanne Balibar, Elkin Diaz.

““Memoria” finally reveals itself as a vision from the future — a declaration of faith in a medium that hasn’t lost its power to astonish.” (LA Times)

“Designed and deserving to be seen big and loud, Memoria is a hypnotic, unquantifiable, occasionally inpenetrable sonic odyssey from a unique cinematic voice.” (Empire Magazine)

“”Memoria” plays out almost like a hallucination… This enigmatic film is more attuned to mood than narrative. But even if “Memoria” is perplexing, it is also incredibly provocative and quietly powerful.” (Salon.com)

“Not since Todd Haynes’ ‘Safe’ has a murkily understood, possibly psychosomatic ailment been reconceived in so haunting and unforgettable a fashion.” (AV Club)

“Everything in ‘Memoria’ is far more calculated than you might first suspect, above all its sounds — which are not just the subject of the film but its substance, finely textured in ways that seem intended to bypass the conscious mind.” (The Age)
