15) Memoria (2021)

Trending

Memoria is a slow burn, by Apichatpong Weerasethakul, which rejects all traditional narrative structures. It is the story of Jessica Holland played by Tilda Swinton as a woman pursued by an unidentifiable noise that drives her through surreal Colombia. It's slow, with slow shots that lets go of the plot in favor of mood and sense experience. Long takes, along with ambiguous moments, give viewers space to take in the atmosphere of the movie. This movie possibly feels less like a film and more like a dream or art in Memoria, making viewers embrace the film's ambiguity on purpose.
