Nat Pwe: Burma's Carnival of Spirit Soul (2004)
In Burma, many people believe in ghost spirits called NATs. They are said to possess the power to assist or devastate the lives of those who recognize them. A PWE is a ceremony held to appease a Nat. Pwes are arranged daily throughout Burma for many purposes including the achievement of success in business, a happy marriage, or improving one's health. A Nat is summoned through a Kadaw; the flamboyant and charismatic master of the Pwe dressed in elegant costume. The Kadaw is a spirit medium, dancer, storyteller, and magician who exposes the crowd to a living incarnation of the Nat brought forth through opening ritual and careful observance of tradition.

Wonderful character development!
In other words,this film is a surreal ride.
Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.
