Winner of the Golden Leopard for Best Film at the Locarno film festival, Diaz’s down-to-earth epic, set in the 1970s, under the Marcos dictatorship, describes a chain of unusual and possibly supernatural phenomena as they affect a small Philippine country village and its residents. “A vital work of historical reclamation.”—Variety
