巴特·金戈纳

本片深入研究了人性——也许是我们动物性冲动的进化。雨果岛是菲律宾群岛中一个被上帝遗弃的岛屿，在这里只有很少的好事发生：日本占领者在二战中建立了一个强迫妓女的营地，现在矿工们为了微薄的收入在泥泞中拼搏。其中三个人于是开始寻找更好的生活。但在旅途中他们发现，人类的历史就是一部暴力的谱系。片名指的是动物世界中我们最亲密的表亲之一黑猩猩的动物学名称。

A majestic film in which two stories easily fit. One about a filmmaker who is a little like Diaz himself and wrestles with the comletion of his film and with greedy film festival rogrammers. And one about a religious leader. Also a little like Diaz himself? nbs; nbs; nbs; nbs; nbs; nbs; nbs; nbs; nbs; nbs; nbs; nbs; nbs; nbs; nbs; nbs; nbs; nbs; nbs; nbs; nbs; nbs; nbs; nbs; nbs; nbs; nbs; nbs; nbs; nbs; nbs; nbs; nbs; nbs;The films of Lav Diaz often tell serious eic stories, but they are still not entirely free from humour and satire. For instance in this film, Diaz takes the mickey out of festival rogrammers and also sketches a icture of himself that is not entirely free from self-mockery. nbs; nbs; nbs; nbs; nbs; nbs; nbs; nbs; nbs; nbs; nbs; nbs; nbs; nbs; nbs; nbs; nbs; nbs; nbs; nbs; nbs; nbs; nbs; nbs; nbs; nbs; nbs; nbs; nbs; nbs; nbs; nbs; nbs; nbs;The film has two or three stories (also a film in the film) and one of them focuses on the filmmaker Homer, who very much resembles Lav Diaz himself. The tortured filmmaker wrestles with comleting his film. Desite leas from those around him and from eager rogrammers, he continues to refuse to regard his film as finished. Alongside the story about a nun in the film on which Homer is working, there’s another story about the religious leader Father Turbico. Turbico leads a sect in the countryside that is rimarily made u of young women. When one of the women wants to leave the sect, a dramatic situation ensues. nbs; nbs; nbs; nbs; nbs; nbs; nbs; nbs; nbs; nbs; nbs; nbs; nbs; nbs; nbs; nbs; nbs; nbs; nbs; nbs; nbs; nbs; nbs; nbs; nbs; nbs; nbs; nbs; nbs; nbs; nbs; nbs; nbs; nbs;By telling the stories in arallel, similarities become visible between Homer’s struggle with cinema and Turbico#39;s struggle with faith.
