Nymph
Ratanaruang again demonstrates a gift for evoking romantic melancholy among sophisticates with a few economical strokes. (---) Meanwhile, ”Nymph’s” bucolic setting and animist mysticism somewhat evokes Ratanaruang’s countryman Apichatpong Weerasethakul’s ”Tropical Malady”, but with more accessible results.

A word for Pen-ek Ratanaruang’s ”Nang Mai” which screened in Un Certain Regard: it’s an exquisitely photographed and sound-recorded drift through the Thai jungle in which a young couple whose relationship is troubled find themselves returning to a huge, veiny, sap-oozing true.
The director claimed the film is about a love affair between them and the tree. He also urged anyone who didn’t understand this opaque but mesmerizing work to email him.
