The movie follows the story of Fabian, ayoung law student who
commits a violent double murder. Escaping justice, an innocent
family man is convicted of the crime and sentenced to life in prison,
leaving his wife and children to fend for themselves.
At once a cultural meditation on cultural memory, class,
personal narrative, national guilt, the tyranny of ideology, and
the reality of cosmic injustice, Norte provides an immersion into
---------------

is a Brit, Sean Ellis, who had never
been to the Philippines before visit
ing with a friend not long before
writing the screenplay. He wrote the
film in English, and then hired Fili
pino actors, who translated most of
it into Tagalog. It's an interesting
and significant choice for the film
maker to direct the film in a language
that he doesn't speak, and it contrib
utes to the sense that the film is sunk
into Filipino culture. While that de
cision may have dimmed the film's
commercial prospects, it makes for a
much more authentic experience
than the usual Hollywood fare.
The choice to shoot in Tagalog
also feels more respectful. We in the
so-called "first world" don't spend
much time thinking about the experi
ences of people at the margins of our
own society, let alone those in parts
of the world most harshly affected by
globalization and power imbalances.
If you added up their numbers, people
at the margins far outnumber those
whose cultures dominate movie
screens and other barometers of at
tention. This film presents such a
visceral look at the realities of life for
people like Oscar and Mai that I felt
absolutely wrung out after two hours
watching it. I also felt a bit ashamed
to think of how much stress I experi
enced merely affording some atten
tion, in the comfort of a movie theater,

to experiences that people actually
manage to survive, if at all, only at
great personal cost.
The filmmaker has made some
smart plotting choices that aid re
flection on what options really exist
for smart and good people like Os
car and Mai. It doesn't seem too
much to ask us to reflect on what the
stakes truly are for people realistic
enough to discern that the survival
o f everyone they love is not in the
cards that life has dealt them.
