The new film from Lav Diaz breaks from the traditions of his previous work in many ways, resulting in one of his strongest works to date.
Storm Children – Book One
Lav Diaz’s latest, STORM CHILDREN: BOOK ONE is a stunning portrait of a country in the aftermath of a natural disaster, and full of its own moments of wordless poetry and beauty
From What Is Before
Lav Diaz’s epic 6-hour opus is a solid cinematic experience, more than worth a look in a theatrical context if such an opportunity presents itself.
Norte, the End of History
Lav Diaz’s novelistic ambitions and formal rigour don’t quite blend in Norte, but it is saved by the breadth of its scope and political rendering of Dostoevsky’s Crime and Punishment.
