Filmed in Colombia and starring renowned British actress Tilda Swinton, the film by acclaimed Thai director Apichatpong Weerasethakul portrays a kind of metaphysical journey—dreams, perceptions, fears, memories, and, of course, the notion of memory that gives the film its title. Weerasethakul characterizes this cinematic narrative with long, static shots, immersive landscapes, dreams, silences, and contemplative moments.
Memoria is an unconventional science fiction film, deeply contemplative, testing the viewer's patience. Those who embrace its style must immerse themselves in deep waters, connecting with the inner rhythm proposed by the Thai director. The film delves into the perpetuity of memories, those that travel through different objects and become eternal. This is where the contemplative construction of the work lies—almost an invitation to meditation, to uncover an ancestral meaning that leads to the other shore. However, Memoria does not fully come together; its rhythm occasionally falters entirely. Nevertheless, it achieves a certain inner dynamic in some scenes, particularly in the final part of the film.
