Directed by Apichatpong Weerasethakul, Tropical Malady presents two interconnected stories: one a quirky gay love story; the other a strange disconnected narrative about a shape-shifting shaman, a man-beast and a ghostly tiger. This paper will argue that from it beginnings in the silent period, the cinema has created an uncanny zone of tropicality where human and<br />animal merge.}, journal={eTropic: electronic journal of studies in the Tropics}, author={Creed, Barbara}, year={2011}, month={Dec.} }
