Break out the popcornlots of itand get ready to suspend your cinematic expectations. In Lav Diaz' fearlessly sprawling yet minutely detailed Melancholia, three characters take on alter egos to flee their everyday existencesAlberta (Angeli Bayani), a sex worker, Julian (Roeder Camaag), a pimp and Rina, a charitable nun. Diaz, called the "great Filipino poet of cinema" (Cinma du Rel, Paris), advances an experimentalist vision of the suffering of human experience, the fluidity of identity and the plasticity of time. "Its another powerful example of the (very) long-form aesthetic that has made Diaz simultaneously one of the most revered and least seen new filmmakers of the past decade," writes ArtForum.
Winner, Best Film, Orrizonti (Horizons) Award, Venice International Film Festival (2008).
