简 介
An engkanto or encanto is an often-malign spirit dwelling in the Filipino countryside although in Death in the Land of Encantos some of them have migrated to eastern Europe as exiles. Their human counterpart is the film’s protagonist Benjamin (“Hamin”) Agusan a poet who returns from years in Russia to search for the body of his girlfriend in the wake of a catastrophic typhoon and landslides. These 2006 disasters devastated the Bicol region where Diaz’s films have been set since Evolution of a Filipino Family killing thousands. This film which inaugurated Diaz’s “trauma trilogy” includes documentary footage in an attempt to record the suffering of the local inhabitants.
A Filipino poet named Benjamin Agusan (Roeder Camanag) is the hapless native who returns to his hometown Padang to witness the aftermat h of the super typhoon. For the past seven years Benjamin had been living in an old town called Kaluga in Russia. With his grant and residency he taught and conducted workshops in a university. The poet published two books of sadness and longing in the process. In Russia Benjamin was able to shoot video collages fell in love with a Slavic beauty buried a son and almost went mad. He came back to bury his dead-father mother sister and a lover. He came back to face Mount Mayon the raging beauty and muse of his youth. He came home to confront the country that he so loved and hated the Philippines. He came back to die in the land of his birth. He wanders around the obliterated village meeting old friends and lovers.
