Apichatpong Weerasethakul's debut feature, MYSTERIOUS OBJECT AT NOON, at Film at Lincoln Center 21st Century Debuts July 19th

July 15, 2019/ Jon Gartenberg

“Shot in fits and starts on a minuscule budget, MYSTERIOUS OBJECT AT NOON was modeled on the Exquisite Corpse add-an-element structure famous from French surrealism, in which drawings or texts are passed from person to person to elaborate upon, with the original materials hidden so that each addition does not adhere in any “logical” or predetermined way, resulting in a collective, randomly assembled piece (Hail Duchamp).”

– James Quant, "Mysterious Object at Noon"
