Episode 80: Apichatpong Weerasethakul’s Memoria, with Set Chronicler Giovanni Marchini Camia - a podcast by The Last Thing I Saw

Welcome to The Last Thing I Saw, with your host, Nicolas Rapold. The latest feature from Apichatpong Weerasethakul, Memoria, is coming to the New York Film Festival, after premiering in Cannes this past summer. Memoria stars Tilda Swinton as a woman seeking to explain a strange noise that she keeps experiencing and, as you might guess, the movie is a change of pace in some ways for Apichatpong, shooting his first feature in Colombia. In July, I spoke with the critic Giovanni Marchini Camia, the official set chronicler of the making of Memoria. I discussed the making of Memoria with Giovanni, who shared some fascinating insights into Apichatpong’s filmmaking, and we also traded thoughts on what’s new and different about the movie. A book on Memoria, featuring Giovanni's set diaries and much more, is available from Fireflies Press.
