Die Tomorrow combines fiction, interviews, short clips, audio recordings and statistics in the form of an essay film about death. Death often comes unexpectedly, and what happens the day before is usually quite ordinary: friends celebrate their graduation, siblings meet again, a couple separates…
“Rarely has the subject of human mortality been treated with such playful dexterity as in Nawapol Thamrongrattanarit’s Die Tomorrow. This narrative/doc hybrid hones in on the existential question, ‘When is it our time to die?’, and goes about answering it through a mix of staged re-enactments, captured interviews and surprisingly droll text-based asides” – Ben CROLL, Screen
This film is in Thai with English subtitles. Die Tomorrow is presented as part of NUS Arts Festival.
