Himala: A Dialectic for Our Times

Original title: Himala: Isang Diyalektika ng Ating Panahon

Directed by Lav Diaz

To this day, Ishmael Bernal's movie Himala is still in our town, in our world. This will be reflected in the broader perspective of the majority, of the surrounding events. Beliefs still lie in the truth. Consciousness is still dominant at the level of illusion. The naive, savage, cruel, and selfish politics still prevail.
