CGiii Comment

Mr Pansittivorakul, this is starting to become a habit...

Rather than being experimental...it's more impenetrable. A sure-fire cure for acute insomnia...

In most scenes, it's as if the director forgot to turn off the camera...'cut' is not a word that exists in Mr Pansittivorakul's vocabulary. Perhaps, he should learn it...thereby, shrinking this film down to a less unbearable 10 minutes or so.

Admittedly, there is a glimmer of talent...the photography and imagery are...in places...rather good.

However, the photoshop-ed montage is a step too far...desecrating someone else's work is downright criminal.

But...the last laugh comes at the very end...as in the credits. Pansittivorakul states that his film was inspired by George Orwell's 1984...really?!? Did you read the same book?!?

Perhaps, it's all very meaningful to the filmmaker...meaningless to everyone else.

The(ir) Blurb...

Supernatural's futuristic narrative takes place against a backdrop of the world in 100 years from now, and switches to the past lives of three characters who were reincarnated in three different periods of time. Chronologically, the story begins with three men discussing Karen myths on the Thai-Burmese border, and moves on to an unconventional family with strong traditional values and finally to a spaceship stuck between Mars and Jupiter.

In all episodes, we can perceive the shadow of 'The Leader,' an unseen character with an overwhelming authority on all the other characters across every period of time.
