Mythology has always been rooted in Bicol; and its people in turn have always grown from these roots. One has always shaped the other. This relationship has created diverse but uniquely Bicolano interpretations of their mythology and its values. The documentary puts Oryol, a Bicolano Deity, into frame and captures the distinct interpretations of the character through the lens of the locals in the province of Albay.
Reviews
It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.
After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
