Ebolusyon ng isang pamilyang Pilipino

the digital materiality of darkness the weight of the overexposure the fukin cinema

So far I've known just 2 directors in my life with the capability to completely absorb me in the universe of their movies; Tarr and Tarkovsky. Lav Diaz is the latest addition. This is majestic filmmaking and ultraminimalist at the same time; a splendid symbolization of a nation's history through the lives of a Filipino family in 16 years, blended with doc-like footage of political events. Just don't watch this on a flight from London to Beijing; you're gonna land - with the movie still running.
