Country: Philippines
Directed by Ishmael Bernal
In a country plagued with poverty, sickness, ignorance, guilt and religious superstitions the people desperate and powerless rather are waiting for a miracle to happen than stand and fight for a better life. Himala, a legendary film of Filippino cinema , considered by the most critics as the best Filippino film ever made, is without doubt a masterpiece that impress the viewer in any level. I would need thousands of words to praise the film but i will say just that never before or after was a Filipino movie with a so complex, consisting, powerfull and on the point commentary incorporated to its dialogues and scenes: the number of social issues that Bernal touches in the film is insane for a 2 hours work of art
