An underappreciated masterpiece. The increased budget is clear here, with much better effects, the tone is also darker, melancholic like the darkness that engulfs the city, and the political plot is extremely connected to current events, and it's well done. Manilla scenary in rain looks pretty omg. Hazel Orencio, i love you. Lav Diaz should be the director of the century. It's impressive how each film is different from the other, in a good way, and not repetitive. Every second is worth it, and I don't care if I'm being repetitive, it's my truth. Lav Diaz directing a film about atomic bombs should destroy Oppenheimer.

The ending left me devastated. Rewatching films is so great.

A film of extreme importance.
