The Shadows of Displacement: On Phuttiphong Aroonpheng's 'The Burning Giants' Phuttiphong Aroonpheng's latest feature, "The Burning Giants," is a film that defies easy categorization.
Its mystifying narrative and dreamlike atmosphere have drawn comparisons to the works of Apichatpong Weerasethakul, but this new film is more than just another entry in a trend.
It's a complex, often infuriating work that grapples with the legacy of state sanctioned ethnic cleansing in Thailand.
