Natpwe: The Feast of the Spirits
In Natpwe, the feast of the spirits, co-directors Tiane Doan na Champassak and Jean Dubrel have produced an immersive, seemingly timeless document of an annual Burmese trance ritual that dates back to the eleventh century. Shot in Super 8 and 16mm in sooty black and white, the film conveys the astonishing sense of liberation of tens of thousands of bodies and minds — a mass expression of faith, but also a rapturous respite from societal intolerance.

It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.
I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.
A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
The movie really just wants to entertain people.
