HENERAL LUNA
ARTIKULO UNO PRODUCTIONS (2015)
Set during the Philippine-American war, Heneral Luna follows the life of one of Philippine History’s most brilliant military men, General Antonio Luna, as he tries to lead his countrymen against colonial masters new and old, and to rise above their own raging disputes to fulfill the promise of the Philippine Revolution.
"Tarog's essentially forceful rhythm turns it into a riveting story. HENERAL LUNA...succeeds in transcending its form and function."
- KRIP YUSON (PHILIPPINE STAR)
"One of the best films to come from the Philippines in years." - DENNIS CLEMENTE (PHILIPPINE DAILY INQUIRER
“Not only a masterpiece but a gift to the nation in another crucial moment of its history." - SYLVIA MAYUGA (GMA NEWS ONLINE)
"An immense risk, one that is probably fueled not by quick profit but by a profound desire to unmask demons of idols." - OGGS CRUZ (RAPPLER)
"A rousing historical epic." - RICHARD KUIPERS (VARIETY)
