Dips in and out of interest with its playful, imaginative storytelling and documentary mix, but always returns to form. Zhang Ke also did an interesting twist on this sort of fact/fiction narrative in 24 City while providing a more stable groundwork.

It's certainly a unique film. Many films try to blur the line between documentary and fiction but Mysterious Object at Noon does it more effectively than most, as the film's "characters" (all real life people that Weerasethakul met on his travels) narrate a story, which Weerasethakul later filmed portions of using amateur actors. It's an intriguing blend of fact and fiction and an interesting meta-commentary on storytelling. The story itself is pretty odd but that's a given, I suppose.

06 Temmuz 2011 & bir cok film gercek ile kurmacanin cizgisi ile oynamaya calisti. apichatpong da bu amacla yola cikarak, ilginc bir kurgu ile filmini insaa etmis. deneysel tavini filmin geneline yayarak ortaya tayland kulturuna ozgu, cok ilginc bir film cikarmis. filmin bariz eklektik duran yapisinin bir sure sonra organik bir bag duygusu ile tamamlanacagini dusundum ama yanildim. o duygu bana gecmedi. bu nedenle filmin iyi bir deneme oldugunu dusunsem de sevemedim.

An unshakeable, unique work that mimics the surrealist "Exquisite Corpse" game, in which one participant continues the story told by the previous participant, with limited knowledge of what the story so far entails. Ultimately it amounts to a dense study of storytelling: the real lives, the imagined story, the telling of the story, and the making of the film. It all goes in directions that are unexpected but feel entirely organic, as if the whole thing was both being crafted and crafting itself.
