A masterpiece from the “godfather” of the Philippine New Wave, Lav Diaz. A loose reimagining of Dostoyevsky’s Crime and Punishment, it’s the story of a young intellectual who commits a horrific double-murder. But the wrong man is convicted of the crime, serving a life sentence while leaving behind a wife and two children. Norte is a profound meditation on cultural memory, class, personal and national guilt, and the origins of evil. Don’t be scared off by the four-hour running time. Though it requires a commitment and some patience, you will be richly rewarded with a work of art that will change your life, and the way you understand the world around you. (2013, 250 min, digital)
