Cinema After Cinema: Filipino Director Lav Diaz and His Independence
$7.50
DESCRIPTION
The films of Filipino auteur Lav Diaz are cinematic epics, chronicling the nation's centuries-long struggles with colonialism and its aftermath, and the ramifications of Ferdinand Marcos' deadly decades-long dictatorship. But they are epic in scope as well, most of them unfolding over anywhere from five to ten hours. Gabrielle Finnane surveys not only the themes and techniques that characterise the director's oeuvre, but also the political intent behind them.
