See this film: Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives at the MFA

The film with the year's oddest title by the director with the hardest-to-spell name might be 2011's best movie. Actually, the title of celebrated Thai auteur Apichatpong Weerasethakul's Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives pretty nicely summarizes what it's about: a dying man retires to the forest he loved as a child and waxes nostalgic about previous incarnations and chats with the ghost of his wife and son about the meaning of it all. Visually stunning and whimsically mind-boggling, it screens at the Museum of Fine Arts tomorrow night.465 Huntington Ave, Boston | 7:30 pm | 800.440.6975 or mfa.org/programs/film.
