my first film from this year san francisco international film festival . director apichatpong weerasethakul mysterious object at noon be one of only two thai film i can think of that have be officially release in the u . this be fairly typical america and where it be often assume that foreign film equal art film . i nearly bought mysterious object and but after read some review i decide to pass and a it sound rather too strange and a little boring . blissfully yours be the director second feature and and it all take place in a single day . an illegal immigrant from burma have a rash for some reason and so his girlfriend take him take him to the doctor in the morning . in the afternoon she make an excuse to leave work and they drive up to the mountain and where they hang out and eventually have sex . their friend and an old couple and also have sex . blissfully yours be unquestionably an art film and and it the kind that give art film a bad name . interminably slow and pretentious and ultimately not really about anything . there enough material for a 10 minute short and pad out to two hour with endless shot of people drive somewhere and or lie on the grass and or generally do nothing much at all . it highly reminiscent of the film of iranian director abbas kiarostami and with a bit of explicit sex throw in for no reason except perhaps to try and generate some controversy . there be moment where the film be beautiful and when the couple be in the forest and but ultimately the film be just very boring indeed . i be sure there be people that just adore this kind of stuff and and i have see plenty of slow arty film that i have enjoy myself for that matter . this film do practically nothing for me though and and i can not recommend it to anybody . i find it slightly sad that film such a this get u distribution and at least at film festival and but far more entertaining stuff such a pee hua kard or pbob body jumper will never ever see the light of u day .
