Manila in the Claws of Light

“And of course, Manila in the Claws of Light on its own. Wonderful. What a Performance by the lead as well, I just want to say. There’s rarely real intimate close-ups, they come later on in the film and it’s so much more impactful. But he has such an amazing angelic face, and he’s going through such, like, tumultuous times in the film. You watch him and you’re just obsessed with staying with him and his world. So yeah, incredible film.”
