inspired by the classic thai folktale 'Gagee'

Overview

A record in moving images of a timeless dimension, the tragedy takes place in a dark void where the voiceless ones enact their drama in a theatre of infatuation, power and vengeance. The force of the roar reverberates as insanity erupts from total stillness, free of dialogue. An atmosphere of total darkness envelops every single particle and atom, external and internal, in dreams and in the heart. This film is adapted from the Thai folk tale of Gagee, a maiden so enchanting and fragrant as a flower, so irresistible that all who gaze upon her fall under her spell. They vie with each other to possess her, leading to war. This ancient legend has been reimagined and retold by new characters as a silent, surreal movie.

Libera me

Nov 17, 1993

"In this film you will see a woman's handkerchief tied around a man's wrist, a well-shaven pig's head, some adolescents who are more inventive than their elders in struggling against oppression... You will not, however, hear any dialog. Words do not prepare, do not accompany, do not comment upon the action. This is not a silent film, but a film in which the only moment of life retained for the cinematographic spectacle are those where people do not speak. The spectator will find, perhaps, a greater freedom of interpretation in it and, we hope, a particular pleasure in this." (Alain Cavalier)
