WHEN SHE GOT LOST IN HISTORY is the third film I saw this year which makes great use of ancient ruins in Thailand. The other two films are CITY OF ANGELS (1983, Marina Abramovic + Ulay, A+) and the film which is used as background to the stage performance “NO TRANSLATION” (2007, Terry Hatfield, A). I think the latter film is shot by Taiki Sakpisit.


2.Mike Dekalb’s reviews of SOMBRE
