Citizen
Dog has never been screened
in the States. There are no English Subtitles. But don't let that
deter you; this is a rare screening; don't sleep on this.
From the same director as Tears
of the Black Tiger, Wisit Sasanatieng's Citizen
Dog is a romantic comedy with a highy stylized
design and deeply saturated colors. The closest stylistic comparison
might be Jean-Pierre Jeunet, director of City of Lost Children
and Delicatessen.
The entire film feels like an extended video installation (perhaps
even more so on these four screens) with a very excellent art
department.

From the 'editors' of Amazon.com:
Product Description
The inspiration for MYSTERIOUS
OBJECT AT NOON was the Surrealist storytelling technique
known as Exquisite Corpse, wherein a variety of writers would
contribute to an ongoing story one sentence at a time, largely
oblivious to what came before. Thai independent filmmaker Apichatpong
Weerasethakul used this technique to interview people
throughout Thailand, asking them to contribute to the film's evolving
story, and, in the process, learning a little bit about their
vivid, largely unexamined lives. What emerges is at once a portrait
of Thailand's disenfranchised lower classes -- farmers, fruit
vendors, village performers -- and their collective story about
a handicapped boy and his tutor, a mysterious woman named Dogfahr.
