About

'A disaffected student commits a murder. An innocent labourer, convicted in his stead, receives a life sentence. Against the backdrop of a Philippines still recovering from the ravages of colonialism and dictatorship, a winding morality tale plays out. Partially inspired by Fyodor Dostoyevsky's Crime and Punishment, Norte, the End of History is an allegory for a country ripped asunder by class, religion and power.' Melbourne International Film Festival

'Diaz makes a point to treat cinema as a complex, multifaceted art form in which sensual, intellectual, and sacred experiences are inextricably linked.' Cinema Scope
