Country: Philippines
Directed by Kidlat Tahimik

A simple childish story, narrated with innovative but still primitive ways but at the same time a genial blending of documentary, fictional autobiography and essay using magical realism with unique way, 'The perfumed nightmare' more than anything else is a loud voice against imperialism and capitalist commercialization and globalization.

A rare masterpiece of independed Filippino cinema, with a difficult to describe powerful beauty
