Mekong Hotel
แม่โขงโฮเต็ล
2012
Synopsis
A quiet hotel overlooking the vast Mekong River in northeast Thailand accommodates both living and undead guests. Its patrons hang around together on the veranda, listen to or play guitar, and rehearse for a film about the relationship between a vampire-like woman and her daughter.
Editorial
Two years after his Palme d’Or win for Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives, Apichatpong Weerasethakul returned with this haunting docu-fiction hybrid. Reposeful in its liminal tranquility, Mekong Hotel is a poignant, folkloric reflection on memory, loss, and spiritual transcendence.
