{"product_id":"by-the-time-it-gets-dark-1","title":"By the Time It Gets Dark","description":"Product Description\n\nThe delicately poetic second feature by Thai director Anocha Suwichakornpong weaves together multiple stories and characters to create a portrait of a beautiful country haunted by the lingering trauma of the 1976 government-sanctioned massacre of student demonstrators in Bangkok.A shape-shifting narrative around memory, politics and cinema, the film weaves together the stories of several characters. We meet a young waitress serving breakfast at an idyllic country café, only to later find her employed in the busy dining room of a river cruise ship. And we meet a filmmaker interviewing an older woman whose life was transformed by the political activism of her student years and the Thammasat University massacre of 1976. With her tender, unobtrusive filmmaking style, Suwichakornpong allows us to get to know these characters slowly and deeply. At the same time, we see how their beautiful country and it's troubled history inform their actions and identities in ways both overt and subtle.\n\nReview\n\nSuwichakornpong achingly recognizes the gulf between pseudo-knowledge and lived wisdom. --Artforum\n\nIt s a film, a rather gorgeous one, of glances and ephemera and delicate metaphors. --The Village Voice\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B0748XRQLM\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B0748XRQLM.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Arak Amornsupasiri|Anocha Suwichakornpong\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Dvd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Individually inspected: Guaranteed to play perfectly or your money back.
