A new trailer and poster have debuted for Memoria, the Tilda Swinton-led Cannes Jury Prize winning feature releasing In January. Apichatpong Weerasethakul’s latest is a meditative exploration of memory and the human condition. It will land in cinemas from 14th January.
Here’s the official synopsis:
Visiting her sister in Bogota, Jessica (Tilda Swinton) is awoken by a loud bang, audible only to her. Restless and disoriented, she roams the city in search of an explanation for the mysterious sound, becoming immersed in the aural richness around her – whispers in a hospital room, sound effects playing in an editing studio, indiscreet noises from a city square. Despite being present throughout, Jessica’s motives remain opaque and her encounters enigmatic. Soon she begins to confront the unsettling sights and sounds that call her identity into question.
Memoria has already been shown at the Cannes Film Festival, where it won the Jury Prize and was nominated for the Palme d’Or; the BFI London Film Festival; the Jerusalem Film Festival; the Palic Film Festival; the San Sebastián International Film Festival; the New York Film Festival; and the Toronto International Film Festival.
The trailer and new poster are below.
