About A Lullaby to the Sorrowful Mystery
Andrés Bonifacio is celebrated as the father of the Philippines Revolution against Spanish colonial rule. This eight-hour epic examines this myth, undertaking an expedition into history through various interwoven narrative threads, held together by an exploration of the individual’s role in history.
Directed by Lav Diaz, A Lullaby to the Sorrowful Mystery leans on a strong ensemble — Piolo Pascual, John Lloyd Cruz, Hazel Orencio — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2016.
