Movie Review: Hele sa Hiwagang Hapis (A Lullaby to the Sorrowful Mystery)

Cast: John Lloyd Cruz, Piolo Pascual, Hazel Orencio, Alessandra De Rossi, Joel Saracho, Susan Africa, Bernardo Bernardo, Cherie Gil, Angel Aquino, Sid Lucero, Ely Buendia
Director-Screenwriter-Editor: Lav Diaz
MTRCB Rating: PG 

Critically acclaimed film icon, Lav Diaz has once again proven his genius in his latest film "Hele sa Hiwagang Hapis.“ It won the Silver Bear Alfred Bauer Prize at the 66th Berlin International Film Festival, given to a feature film that "opens new perspectives on cinematic art."

Filmed in black and white, in very slow screenplay, the eight-hour epic expounds in great detail how - for thirty (30) days in the forest - the grieving Gregoria de Jesus aka Oryang (Hazel Orencio) searches in vain for the body of her husband, Andres Bonifacio, believed to have been killed by rival rebel troops, allegedly on orders of General Emilio Aguinaldo. She expresses her unspeakable grief, how her aimless wandering around the forest has revealed man’s unmatched wickedness towards another.

The Filipino Soul

Diaz incorporated various characters and elements in the movie, notably those from Jose Rizal’s controversial novels, Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo. The viewers’ political consciousness, particularly towards the Spanish regime, gets roused as Crisostomo Ibarra/Simoun (Piolo Pascual) and Isagani (John Lloyd Cruz), come into the picture.

In Fili, Isagani, a poet and idealist,dreams of having a school for native Filipinos to help them uplift their lives. On the other hand, Simoun provokes hatred to spark the revolution and fight the abuses of the Spanish government. In the film, he gets shot by Basilio (Sid Lucero). Wounded, Simoun is fortunate to have Isagani as his savior, crossing jungles and mountains in a hammock when he needs to be secretly moved to Isagani’s uncle, Padre Florentino’s place.

Together, while hidden in the forest, Isagani and Simoun recite 'Mi Ultimo Adios,' a poem Rizal wrote before his execution. The monologue is powerful to capture the nationalist spirit of the Filipino viewer.

Needless to say, Diaz aims to awaken the Filipino soul and identity suppressed after centuries of Spanish colonial rule - not to mention, the dark years under Marcos’ Martial Law regime.

Betrayal

The beautiful woman from Silang, Cesaria Belarmino (Alessandra De Rossi), one of Gregoria’s companions in the mountains, belatedly confessed to her that she was pushed by circumstances to become the kept woman of a Spanish General (Bart Guingona). As such, Cesaria becomes accomplice in the Battle of Silang that resulted in the rape and death of women, children and old folk. She also admitted to having a hand in the capture of Bonifacio, earning for her the tag "Taksil ng Katipunan (the traitor of Katipunan)." Indeed, even then, Filipino women were as capable of anything as men, even betrayal for self-preservation.

Myths and Legends

Aling Hule (Susan Africa) plays the grieving mother who has lost her two young sons in an uprising, Karyo (Joel Saracho) a very sick man – both are with Gregoria in the mountain inhabited by the three Tikbalangs (half horse/half human played by Bernardo Bernardo, Cherry Gil and Angel Aquino) Likewise, the presence of the strange cult called Colorum doing its rituals in a big cave, headed by a queer priest (Ronnie Lazaro) once more illustrates the richness of the Filipino mythology.

Immersion

As a viewer, you have to condition yourself before you watch the movie. Be prepared physically, mentally and psychologically as it is an ultimate test of one’s patience and endurance. Expect to be immersed in the story as you breathe and live in every scene - long stretched, no narrative - while it consumes you. You’ll be hooked. No chance to get bored. You hold your screaming bladder as you don’t want to miss a thing.

It is with great comfort that the leading actors delivered more than what they could - Piolo, John Lloyd, Hazel Orencio, Alex de Rossi and the rest. Passion for the craft, for a rare opportunity to do a project of such magnitude definitely became a factor. It's not a walk in the park making an 8-hour movie with a director of Diaz's caliber who refuses to be limited by a standard. Any actor will be eaten up if he/she is not up to par. There's only one word to sum it all up - commitment - and they have tons of it. Kudos!

The film is a departure from the norm. For one, there’s no musical score to highlight the scenes to play with the emotion. There’s a dearth of close-up shots, too. But these will not be a bother as you get deeply engrossed in the story. What feels like a very sluggish flow to ‘nothingness’ ultimately gets to you, like magic.

“You learn that you don't watch a Lav Diaz film. You experience it," said actor Bernardo Bernardo.

The Power In Our Hands

Towards the end, Isagani engages Padre Florentino in serious talk. The conversation is real, it hits home in real time. He asks his uncle what curse has befallen his beloved Philippines, the promised land and its people, as it struggles repeatedly to fight the cycle of poverty, abuses and corruption. Padre Florentino’s reply has never been so familiar, “ You, the youth have the power to change it. “

“ Hele sa Hiwagang Hapis “ is still showing in cinemas.

    7. It's an 8-hour movie with a 30-minute break every 2 hours. So that's 9 1/2 hours inside the movie house. So if the movie starts at 11:00 am, you leave the movie house at 8:30 pm. Very very long.

  2. The movie is not for everyone. Malalim sya, not created for commercial value. It's done to help you find your soul, your part in your nation's past.How as a nation, we can help correct the mistakes of the past to benefit the new generation. Hindi alam ng lahat ang ibig sabihin nyan.

    4. Grabe ka 4:04... to be honest when this was first released, parang ayaw ko manood dahil akala ko parang typical storyline na pinahaba. But when I read this review parang I want to consider watching it na. I love Heneral Luna, I love history and WE DEFINITELY NEED TO LEARN FROM HISTORY para tayo na mismo sa present generation ang mag correct ng mga mali at gumawa ng paraan para bumuti ang bansa natin.

      There's a reason why we're enjoying our freedom right now and there's also a reason why many people are still suffering. Kaya paminsan minsan break muna sa mga favorite LTs at teleserye...

    1. Korek! Inilalahad ng movie na ang mga problema ng bansa natin nung panahon ng mga Kastila ay ganun pa rin hanggang ngayun. Ibig sabihin, wala tayong maturity at pagkakaisa bilang Pilipino. Patuloy tayong nagpabaya at naging bulag at bingi sa mga hinaing natin, kaya palagi tayung inaabuso at ninanakawan ng mga namumuno sa atin! Magtataka pa ba tayo kung bakit ganito tayo ngayun? Gumising na tayo!! Wag na tayo magpabiktima!

    5. It takes dedication and talent to memorize and act out long dialogues like that. Parang gusto ko na rin manood. Baka ma high-blood naman ako nito tulad ng sa Heneral Luna... haha Kasi yung mga nangyari noon parang reflection din ng mga nangyayari ngayon kaya minsan nakaka high blood.

    3. No anon10:11pm it was not "hapis at pighati" but 8 hours of adventure, an escape from the reality. Yung walong oras na yon dinala ako sa daigdig at panahon na nilikha ni lav diaz at mga aktor nito, kapanahunan ni jose rizal. Epektibo ang ginawa niya dahil damang dama ko ang mensaheng gusto niyang iparating. At kahit pa pagkatapos ng pelikula, pagkalabas ng sinehan, hanggang ngayon dala dala ko pa rin ang impact sa akin ng movie at ang mga thoughts na naglalaro sa isipan ko after manood.

    4. 10:11, you're obviously not cut out for this discussion. Mukhang pang Loveteam movies lang ang kaya i-process ng utak mo. Fyi, in international film festivals, Lav Diaz has a cult following and they talk about him as if he’s a legend. 1:36, you nailed it. Ganyan din ang naramdaman ko, salamat kapatid.

  17. If I'm in Pinas I will watch this. If the international movie critics appreciated and even gave this film awards, then I can certainly last 8hours plus breaks in-between.

    Let's be honest, we don't always have this kind of film shown, much less produced by Pinoys. Those who watched are giving positive reviews, and I for one, am envious as I'd really love to see this. Of course, to each his own, but if you don't or won't be able to sit the 8hours viewing it, then there's no reason too to discourage others who are interested to see it.

    1. True. Kuhang-kuha mo. If it doesn't suit your taste, then don't watch and as much as possible, avoid commenting as it may discourage others to no longer watch it. Yan ang isa sa mga sakit ng ibang Pilipino. Ayaw mapag-isa, kelangan may mabitbit na iba. Kung hindi pabor sa kanya, kelangan may ibang tao na isasali sa usapan para lang may masabing kakampi or kasama. Kung pababa na, dapat may mahatak din paibaba. If you get what i mean.

  21. This is actually a masterpiece. Something that has been meticulously done, unlike what we usually see in theaters na minadaling ginawa. It's not your usual commercialized movie, this is art. Hopefully, the next generation can still have access to this so that they'll not only learn about film making but a little bit of Philippine history, as well. So, let's just be appreciative, people, that from time to time we get to see a movie that really makes you think.

  34. And i'm very sure that in all award giving bodies, this film would fail in getting a nomination for Best Editing.

    Instead of showing a 8 hour movie and make it difficult for the viewers, they should have shown this movie as a trilogy or in 2 parts. In that way, it would be more profitable for the producer. It's extremely hard to make money by showing the film as an 8 hour adventure for movie goers.

You'll be wasting your money kung bugok ka at puro kababawaan lang ang naiintindihan mo. Hindi naman sa kelangan ng critical thinking, but to spend 8 hours watching this masterpiece requires patience and interest with what the story is telling you. Hindi ko masisi ang karamihan to be negative, isa yan sa sakit nating mga Pilipino but very thankful na marami na rin ang tumaya para makawaka sa sakit na ito. The film is great and one of a kind.
