Getting closer to that Oscar dream! 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭

Fancy seeing MAGELLAN making it to Gold Derby’s 15 Best International Film predictions (experts and users combined)! The Philippines has never been shortlisted at the Oscars before, and if there’s any filmmaker fit to end that drought, it’s Lav Diaz. 🇵🇭 Fingers crossed!

Lav Diaz’s Magellan is haunting, gorgeously shot, and deeply cerebral.
“The film demands your attention and immersion.” — Wanggo Gallaga

MAGELLAN: Uses its multitude of incident and this particular era of desperation in its central figure’s life as an evocation of the various forms of power; Diaz’s cold control amid the historical epic scale is invigorating, expansive while remaining resolutely his own work.

lav diaz’s magellan is a gorgeous funereal lament for the faithful slain (colonizer & colonized), crying out for their absent god(s) from unforgettable tableaus of death, staged against an indifferent natural world. the scenes at sea were almost painfully beautiful. #NYFF63

Magellan is Filipino director Lav Diaz’s most accessible work yet (it’s not 10 hours long, it’s just under 3), a stark rebuke of Magellan’s navigational legacy and a powerful statement of colonialism’s horrors. It’s a historical genre masterpiece - even if not entirely historically accurate - with long, luscious takes meant to immerse and confront.
Far from being an action-packed swashbuckler, Magellan rewards patience and curiosity.

Carl Papa’s The Missing. It’s such a cool and inspired choice. We showed the world that we are capable of creating a quality animated film.

10 movies deep at #TIFF25 on Day 3 and so far I can safely say my favorites thus far have been Lav Diaz' Magellan, Kleber Mendonça Filho's The Secret Agent, Jafar Panahi's It Was Just an Accident and Park Chan-wook's No Other Choice!

It’s transfixing to see another Lav Diaz movie past his signature monochrome. While ‘Magellan’ is a sprint in Diaz’s marathon cinema, it never loses his spirit — still narratively pensive but also visually painterly. Revisionist accusations will be inevitable. Full review soon.
