Mekong Hotel (2012, 57 min, DCP, colour, original version with French subtitles)  
This fiction/documentary film weaves together the links between a mother (who is a vampire), her daughter, her daughter's lover and the river. 
"Weerasethakul shows us a way to die of poetry. How to film an excavator stripping tree trunks with the grace of a grasshopper. Or jet-skiers on a river, like atoms falling randomly through the universe. [...] The film evokes the exodus of Laotians to Thailand (across the Mekong separating the two countries), the flight of Thai and Laotian couples to France, the military education of young Thai men in the 1970s... In the end, Weerasethakul's "documentary" brings to life (through bodies folding against each other) the separation that takes place every day in all human beings. And that refuses to be filled, showing instead how it fissures and grows.” Éric Horel, Libération, 17 May 2012.
