Executive produced by lead actress Tilda Swinton, the new film from Apichatpong Weerasethakul, director of the Palme d’Or-winning ‘Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives’ (2010), focuses on Jessica (Swinton), a woman in Colombia visiting her sister, who has been struck by an illness of undetermined cause.
While in this unfamiliar environment, Jessica is haunted by a sound apparently inaudible to those around her, a sound that is not limited to any particular location or circumstance. Drawing on various resources and encounters, including an anthropologist (Jeanne Balibar) and a man (Elkin Díaz) who claims unusual powers of memory, she attempts to discover its origin and meaning.
Memoria' is a haunting, transcendent, unforgettable film. The Washington Post
