A fleeting shadow, an elusive memory fading as the mind slips into sleep, a long lost lover reborn in a dream.

As Ken Tynan said of Waiting for Godot, nothing happens, twice.

Knowingly enigmatic, but more accessible than the director's previous works.

SYNDROMES AND A CENTURY, like its curious title, has the logic of a dream....[The film] welcomes you into a world of simplicity and strangeness.

Rating: 3/5 --
This portrait of life is all about the yin and the yang, so it follows that for everyone who finds it dull there are those who will be captivated.

There's nothing here that resembles narrative urgency, but this is a quiet masterpiece, delicate and full of wonder.

Product Description:
From Thailand, SYNDROMES AND A CENTURY is a drama set largely in two different hospitals. Taking place at different times, two stories become mirrors for one another as they are interwoven. Tao (Nu Nimsomboon) desires Dr. Tei, but is too timid to share his feelings. Meanwhile, at the same hospital, a dentist works on the mouth of a young monk, with whom he builds a unique bond. While the first story occurs in a small town, the second takes place in bustling Bangkok, and explores the lives of the same characters in addition to some fresh faces.
