‘Before, Now & Then’ (Nana) Review: Wong Kar-Wai Meets Apichatpong Weerasethakul in Transfixing Political Drama

She may run the household, but not her own life. If all this sounds a tad conventional so far, it’s only because you haven’t been treated to the string-heavy score of composer Ricky Lionardi and the staticky
