TOTM: Uncle Boonmee recalls his past lives

This Thai wonder by Apitchatpong Weerasethakul is otherwordly and one scene springs to mind which should be difficult to see but its beauty becomes a joy. In this scene, a Thai princess who has lost her looks but not her wealth, goes to a lake and sees a beautiful version of herself reflected in the water. She tries to grab hold of it and is shocked by how truly perfect she is in the water.  A fish then speaks to her, telling her how much he admires her and she is seduced. The most weird yet wonderful scene I have had the cinematic pleasure to see.
