  • Lav Diaz – Batang West Side AKA West Side Avenue (2001)

    Lav Diaz2001-2010ArthouseDramaPhilippines

    The first major epic in the oeuvre of Lav Diaz (b. 1958) is a powerful contemporary portrait of the Filipino diaspora in New York and New Jersey: A Filipino-born detective investigates the murder of Hanzel Harana, a Filipino teenager, and must plod along with tenacity to break through the wall of silence surrounding the boy’s death. The trail of the designer drug “shabu” runs through the film like a bloody trickle, but Diaz delegates the accounts of crime, domestic violence, and the discontent in the souls of his characters to the background for the most part, instead relying on the hypnotic portrait of a decaying life as a symbol of alienation from home. The more we learn about the protagonists, the more complex, intangible, and contradictory our image of them becomes.Read More »

    “I’m gonna take this time out to talk to you about Ian Reid’s video. It’s a timepiece that takes you on a trip from the bottom to the top. It was made amidst the streets of New York, New Jersey, Philadelphia and Los Angeles in the middle of skating with my friends, shootouts, sex, money and drugs. I’m here to adjust the game, to put the integrity back in skateboarding. The game’s all wrong- I’m gonna show you how to do this. Ian Reid’s video is 110% RAW and UNCUT. This is how a video should be made.”Read More »
