BATANG WEST SIDE
dir. Lav Diaz, 2001
Philippines. 301 min.
In English and Filipino with English subtitles.
ENCORE SCREENING! ONE NIGHT ONLY!
A landmark work in Lav Diaz’s career that marks the transition between his early, impersonal studio films (BURGER BOYS, NAKED UNDER THE MOON, SERAFIN GERONIMO) and the durational-cinema masterpieces that he is known for, BATANG WEST SIDE has an important and unique place in Diaz’s filmography. Shot in color on 35mm around Jersey City, BATANG WEST SIDE is a noirish police procedural that examines Filipino American immigrant communities and the myriad social and psychological problems they face. Nearly impossible to get a hold of for years, this is an essential work that we’re happy to be able to present as a capstone to our recent Lav Diaz retrospective.
