独立短片

This experimental Filipino movie is far from a total success, but at least its in-your-face strangeness will make it somewhat interesting for those interested in seeing films of a different sort. The start is akin to a test of endurance for cinephiles, as the camera stands still showing nothing but a couple sleeping in the floor of a hut for the first 15 minutes (I'm not making this up, I looked at my watch). Eventually, the woman, who is unable to sleep, wakes up the man at her side, telling him to tell her a story so she can sleep. He complies with a rambling monologue about the suffering of the Filipino people. The film then moves on to the better second part, where fake footage in the style of silent movies is shown. This shows life in the Philippines supposedly during the end of the colonial period through a series of vignettes. These vignettes are mildly humorous (one shows a number of children looking at an eclipse with gaping mouths). Eventually, something akin to a story comes out of the movie, as revolutionaries meet to plan rebellion from Spanish rule. It's hard to compare this movie with other films, though its fetishism of silent movies recalls the work of Guy Maddin. I found it also reminiscent of a better movie, "Moeder Dao" in which real documentary footage of colonial life in Indonesia was shown.

黑白默片配上钢琴曲，菲律宾历史的片段式演绎及隐喻，就很拉夫·迪亚兹。

菲律宾新浪潮代表作 全片充斥着极强的巫蛊气息 部分段落的仪式感像极了拉夫-达兹的中期风格 马丁和他的团队在摄影和音乐上的品味大大弥化了片子的粗糙质感

3.5。1.拉亚·马丁21岁作品，充溢着吊诡巫蛊气息。2.半色黑白的默片形式。3.麦田上，众男孩张嘴仰望天空，及至动画流星雨收尾。

7.6；不了解菲律宾历史所以纯粹凑热闹，不过文艺气十足是不假
