拉夫狄亚兹 (《莫忘初衷》，39 届) 真是电影奇葩，孜孜不倦用超长片长做电影兼国族宣言，意义已超越光影。层次分明波澜壮阔的史诗，革命英雄的说法多角度话分几头，说得异常深刻动听。1896 年菲国独立前夕，独立先锋邦尼法素遭敌对革命军奸计杀害，妻子孜孜展开一段遍山寻找丈夫遗体的长征，革命军自相残杀、西班牙殖民者的无间阴谋铺展开来，相关历史、文学与神话无一遗漏，恩怨情仇难三言两语，狄亚兹以长镜头凝视，掘出埋没的历史真相。革命英雄至今尚未获追认，就由光影做个见证。菲律宾历来最强卡士阵容，也史无前例最长的一部柏林影展竞赛片。今年柏林影展Alfred Bauer银熊奖。

本片深入研究了人性——也许是我们动物性冲动的进化。雨果岛是菲律宾群岛中一个被上帝遗弃的岛屿，在这里只有很少的好事发生：日本占领者在二战中建立了一个强迫妓女的营地，现在矿工们为了微薄的收入在泥泞中拼搏。其中三个人于是开始寻找更好的生活。但在旅途中他们发现，人类的历史就是一部暴力的谱系。片名指的是动物世界中我们最亲密的表亲之一黑猩猩的动物学名称。

20世纪70年代末期，一支由军队控制的民兵团体控制了菲律宾丛林中的一个遥远村庄。士兵们身着制服，手握机关枪，在村子里散布肉体和精神上的恐惧。他们使得村中邻里之间反目为敌，并试图根除村民们对传说和神灵的信仰。勇敢的年轻医生洛雷娜为贫苦人家开设了诊所，却随后消失不见。她的丈夫雨果·海尼威是一名诗人、社会运动家和老师，打算去寻找妻子的下落。而当他到达这个村庄时，他遭遇到了一个被专治和暴力摧毁的社群。

Madmen control Manila in 2034 after massive volcanic eruptions have plunged Southeast Asia into darkness.

Hong Sang-Soo’s Lost in the Mountains (South Korea, 32min) the visitor is the supremely self-centred Mi-Sook, who drives to Jeonju on impulse to see her classmate Jin-Young – only to discover that her friend is having an affair with their married professor, who Mi-Sook once dated herself. The level of social embarrassment goes off the scale. In Naomi Kawase’s Koma (Japan, 34min), Kang Jun-Il travels to a village in rural Japan to honour his grandfather’s dying wish by returning a Buddhist scroll to its ancestral home. Amid ancient superstitions, a new relationship forms. And in Lav Diaz’ Butterflies Have No Memories (Philippines, 42min) ‘homecoming queen’ Carol returns to the economically depressed former mining town she came from – and becomes the target of an absurd kidnapping plot hatched by resentful locals. Serving as his own writer, cameraman and editor, Diaz casts the film entirely from members of his crew and delivers a well-seasoned mix of social realism and fantasy. —bfi
