As part of our Afterhours @ NMAA event, enjoy this hilarious and touching meta-action movie from the Philippines. Its heroine, Leonor Reyes, is a former screenwriter from the glory days of Filipino action cinema who is now elderly, broke, and mourning the untimely death of her son. But when an air conditioner falls on her head, lying unconscious in the hospital, she finds herself plunged into one of her own scripts—the hero of her own action movie! A.O. Scott of The New York Times calls it “wonderfully unclassifiable! Martika Ramirez Escobar’s heartfelt, zany tribute to the magic of movies and the power of love.” (Dir.: Martika Ramirez Escobar, Philippines, 2022, 99 min., DCP, Filipino with English subtitles)
