Thai auteur and social media sensation, Nawapol Thamrongrattanarit, delivers a poetic and profoundly moving meditation on the brevity of life.

 

Lyrical vignettes from the penultimate days of individuals unaware they are soon to die are interspersed with documentary footage of subjects young and old contemplating their fear and acceptance of death.

 

Combining dreamy camerawork with wonderfully naturalistic performances, Die Tomorrow evokes the work of Asian masters such as Kore-eda Hirokazu, Hou Hsiao-Hsien and Apichatpong Weerasethakul. Despite its sombre subject matter, this is a film bristling with life.
