After watching Quezon, I left the cinema unsure whether I had just seen a story about a national hero or a clever takedown of one. The film’s portrayal of President Manuel L. Quezon, as played by Jericho Rosales, paints him as a bida-kontrabida- a protagonist whose intentions may be noble but whose methods are deeply questionable. If the Quezon family were still in power, this film would probably be branded as propaganda, but perhaps that’s what makes it so striking.

The story revolves around a myth about turning into green bones after death, which I found really creative. The idea itself sets the film apart from other local MMFF movies.
