The Woman Who Left

[Ang babaeng humayo], directed by Lav Diaz, Philippines 2016, 229'

The protagonist of the latest work of Lava Diaz – one of the aces of Asian cinema and slow cinema masters – is a woman named Horace, who has been wrongly sentenced to 30 years in prison. Just before leaving the penitentiary, she finds out who actually committed the crime. In the three decades past, the world has changed for the worse; however, Horacia, with stoic calm, devises a plan of vengeance on a former lover. Diaz throws the heroine into the wild and unknown Philippines world of the late 1990s, in which absolute violence and abductions are on the agenda.
