The first, the last, the everything

For Bay Area people, just a reminder that Syndromes and a Century, Apichatpong "Joe" Weerasethakul's latest love story, is showing at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts this weekend. Apparently this is its exclusive Bay Area theatrical run. It'd be easy to indignantly say this movie should have had a "real" release in a commercial theater, since it's better than most of the stuff in commercial release, but I won't. I think it belongs in a museum and more people should go to museums.

Johnny Ray Huston wrote a very smart review for the Bay Guardian, along with an interview with Joe.
