Introducing
“A curiously oblique film that builds almost imperceptibly, Lav Diaz’s five-hour “Batang West Side” — at once deadly serious and howlingly absurd — is a masterpiece.” – Variety
Synopsis
A Filipino boy is shot dead in the street under strange circumstances. A policeman with Filipino roots, who is failing to assimilate in a foreign country, takes the case. The investigation leads him deep into the pain-ridden world of the Filipino diaspora in the United States—a world of crime, split identities, and the deep trauma left by years of colonialism and the country’s bloody history.
