Agrarian Utopia, Cornell Cinema Movie playing on Wednesday, September 8 at 7:00, and Friday, September 10 at 7:15, Willard Straight Hall, Cornell University. “The changing nature of work and a vanishing way of life are the themes of Agrarian Utopia, by the Thai filmmaker Uruphong Raksasad. The son of farmers, Uruphong left the Bangkok film industry and returned to his childhood village to make his serenely mournful first film, Stories from the North (2006). Agrarian Utopia, about two rural families working the same rice paddy, is even lovelier, with its golden fields and time-lapse skies, but also more tough-minded in its assessment of the economic and political realities that make its title deeply ironic. Utopia looks like a documentary but is in fact scripted, shot on a rented plot, and cast with nonprofessionals (playing roles not too different from their real lives). This blurring of narrative and documentary has become an increasingly common—and productive—mode....” (Dennis Lim, Artforum) “Uruphong offers a deeply humane vision, clear-sighted analysis and fantastically beautiful images.” (Tony Rayns) Cosponsored with the SE Asia Program.
