The Latest Late Review of Lav Diaz' Norte, Ang Hangganan ng Kasaysayan in A Form of a Solution


Problem: You need a long gorgeous meditative film that fills all the essentials of a manual for students studying bipolar disorders and for people who believe that basically all evil people are just sick mental patients deprived of therapy and lamictal. 

And you also need the film to be at least four-hour length but should feel very short but at the same time complete. Then the film has to have shown obvious proof that it is aware of Postmodernism, Post-postmodernism, David Foster Wallace and that fact that people care only for a history that centers themselves. What should you do?

Solution: Finish Lav Diaz' Norte, then take a 5-minute coffee and Lola Towing's tsokolate break. Afterwards, remember what you learned from Lars Von Trier's Melancholia and other similar movies such as Enter The Void, The Elephant, Match Point and Holy Motors. Then forget about them, and then start reading the next NYRB Classic.
