For all you Lost fans, here’s another metaphysical jungle tale to your possible rescue (it will also suck up about 120 less hours of your life). It’s this year’s winner of the Palme d’Or at Cannes, Apichatpong Weerasethakul‘s Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives.

Here’s this year’s jury head, Tim Burton, on the film:

“I liked it because it is a movie that you normally don’t see, not Western, with fantasy elements done in a way I have never seen before. It is a beautiful strange dream. It has a quiet reflective nature, full of surprises.”

Surprises, indeed! One of those past lives of Uncle Boonmee apparently features him as a catfish who makes love to a princess in a blue lagoon by wiggling his tale. Let’s see ya try that one!

....oooo...kaaayyyy...

If this won, I shudder to think how boring the competition was.

Moving this video to Sarzy's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

Wow, I have to say, this got more votes than I was expecting. Let's see if we can get it that last one. *beg

Sending this video to Beggar's Canyon to plea for a little attention - beg requested by original submitter Sarzy.

Finally watched this last night. Loved it.
