Magellan

AGHDRA, The Night, Banshees of Inisherin, Anatomy of a Fall, Perfect Days, Soundtrack to a Coup d'Etat, and now, Magellan. Lav Diaz's films often appear formally intimidating, but are deceptively simple and powerful in narrative. Magellan appears to be his most digestible, formally, but is actually some of his most complex narrative work. Will this new approach be received well by the mainstream? I don't know. But thank god for Lav Diaz delivering the best new film I've seen I think possibly since Anatomy of a Fall.
