Syndromes and a Century (Sang sattawat)

I wasn't really prepared for the beauty of this film. The beauty came from the interaction between the caharacters. What first appeared mundane becam riveting and funny. Adoctor was interviewed twice to see which department he would be best suited to, or we two versions of the same interview. We are also shown two versions of a consultation with a monk before he gave the doctor(s) roots to cure their ailments. We were shown different scenes in the life of the hospital, no-one died, there were no hysterionics. Doctors drank spirits while discussing the merits of Red Cross t-shirts and dentists discussed singing with their patients, sheer poetry.
