From Letterboxd:

Memoria is the new film from Thai auteur Apichatpong Weerasethakul (herein referred to as Joe), and it sees Tilda Swinton as Jessica, an anthropologist who hears a strange, monstrous noise that arises her from sleep one morning. After it continues to haunt her in her waking life, she enlists the help of a sound engineer and an archaeologist among other locals in order to retain her peace of mind and comprehend the sound's source. The film is glacially slow and comprised of mostly static shots, but they're articulately crafted to immerse spectators into the ethereal atmosphere of a given scene, to the point where one feels like they're an invisible witness to Jessica's life in Bogotá, Colombia. The sound design only adds to the visceral tone whether it's through the diegetic ambiences of the city in addition to its nearby jungle, the incendiary sound effects that startle Jessica from out of nowhere, or a literal symphony of car alarms going off one after the other.

The shot compositions also give Memoria interpretations on transcendentalist and metaphysical levels, such as when construction workers forage past the camera to weave between the bars of a tunnel surrounded in darkness as if they're being judged by the watchful eye of a nature deity, or wide shots that follow Jessica and her colleagues like an ominous apparition longing to return to the physical realm, feel touch and listen to their favorite song again. Joe's latest work feels haunting from beginning to end as its narrative takes viewers on a meditative journey that asks questions about memory, man's relationship with the environment as well as their current surroundings, and the nature of the spirit all the way up to an ending that packs an unbelievable punch that’ll have audiences second guessing everything that preceded it. Say what you will about its release strategy, but the patient cinephiles will be rewarded when the film makes its way to their city, because Memoria is a meditative masterpiece that has a moviegoing experience unlike any other, and begs to be seen on the biggest screen possible.
