"The physics of the image volume can and must be engineered from scratch. Most filmmakers copy over the physical laws from the discarded source world.

"They install them in their image volume with only minor, unnoticeable alterations for convenience and the purposes of conventional film grammar."

7. To gratify friends and irritate enemies.

In 1969 Roland Barthes drew up a list of ten reasons why he imagined that he wrote. Here, to gratify or irritate you, is number seven:

"The feeling of a Weerasethakul film is weightless, like thought. But the substance is earthly, of human beings as human bodies.

"Even the ghosts and spirits have a kind of body odour."
