Aroview: A gorgeous two-hander from the dir. of BLISSFULLY YOURS begins as a tender romance between a farmer and a solider, before transforming into a hallucinatory ghost story played out in the depths of the Thai jungle.
At the forefront of modern experimental cinema, Weerasethakul's pacing is slow, languid, and strangely captivating - not for everyone, but those prepared to surrender to his film's laid-back pleasures will be uniquely rewarded.

4 stars (Very Good) Weerasethakul gives more ponderous wonder in another wander in the jungle. By the end you do feel like you've been on a holiday even if you don't know where or why. Occupies similar psycholgical space to Hermann Hesse's Steppenwolf. ~stve
