His fifth feature, Syndromes and a Century, might be [the director's] most purely intoxicating.

There's nothing here that resembles narrative urgency, but this is a quiet masterpiece, delicate and full of wonder.

The latest daydreamy film from this Thai auteur of languor is fragrant with tender love and sly humor.
