A story about director Apichatpong Weerasethakul's parents who were both doctors, and his memories about growing up in the hospital environment.
Syndromes and a Century is one of those films that requires you to be in a certain mood before seeing it. The plot moves like a slowpoke, and there seem to be no hurry at all in advancing the story. If you can accept that, this film is actually really great, and much thank's to how it's filmed. Many static shots and long scenes, just the way I like it. A few times we may get a montage of different rooms and halls of a hospital where the lights are going out, and people that exercises in the park. So bring along a chunk of patience before watching it, and you will hopefully appreciate this meditative experience.
