Winner of the Special Jury Prize at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival and the Grand Prize at the 2014 TOKYO FILMeX, Tropical Malady is the lyrical and mysterious film by independent Thai filmmaker Apichatpong Weerasethakul. The film chronicles the mystical love affair between a young soldier and the country boy he seduces, soon to be disrupted by the boy’s sudden disappearance. Local legends claim the boy was transformed into a wild animal such as a tiger, and the soldier journeys alone into the heart of the Thai jungle in search of him.

It is made possible by Kick the Machine Films in Thailand and the Japanese subtitled 35mm print is provided by Japan Community Cinema Center.
