PRERELEASE SCREENING
Portrait of a hotel near the Mekong River, in the north-east of Thailand, where Apichatpong rehearsed a movie he wrote years ago. The film shuffles fact and fiction, expressing the bonds between a vampire-like mother and her daughter, the young lovers and the river, and weaving in layers of demolition, politics, and a drifting dream of the future.
