Cemetery of Splendour (Thai: รักที่ขอนแก่น, RTGS: Rak Ti Khon Kaen) is a 2015 Thai drama film written, produced, and directed by Apichatpong Weerasethakul. The plot revolves around a spreading epidemic of sleeping sickness where spirits appear to the stricken and hallucination becomes indistinguishable from reality. The epidemic is a metaphor for personal and Thai societal issues.[2] The film premiered in the Un Certain Regard section at the 2015 Cannes Film Festival to critical acclaim.[3][4]
