“Cinema is like voodoo. I still don’t know how it works. Mainstream studios can spend millions but still the movie flops.” says Apichatpong Weerasethakul, the most celebrated Thai film director. His slow, mysterious, experimental style of filmmaking got him Palme d'Or, the main prize at Canne film festival. Now he is in the jury of the Oscars, but does he like what he sees? We got a chance to meet Apichatpong Weerasethakul, or Joe as his Western friends call him, to discuss his identity, film censorship in Thailand and the mystery of cinema. // Support NYLA podcast: https://www.patreon.com/NanookMultimedia
