A mosaic of historical facts, fictions and in-betweens – human acts born out of a primeval instinct to survive under adverse conditions. Historiographika Errata paints an absurd yet brutally honest visage of a race plagued by misfortunes.
A disillusioned and suicidal Rizal, a cross-dressing Bonifacio gripped with paranoia, an ex-Katipunero who joins the US army to save his own neck, and a widow whose sex-for- food errands lead her to become the first ever Makapili. These are the historical mosaics that will form a singular hypothesis as to why we are like this as a people and up to now still reeling from our damaged culture.
I loved the sattire and surreal approach of telling our history with the twisted character of our national heroes and tackles the life of Filipino on each particular era that was not usually discuss on our history books. With its precise production design and cinematography that achieve its goal on setting up the feels and look of that era, Historiographika Errata succeeds in giving us a unique approach of telling our history that need to be told. The first act of the film defines and set the overall tone of the film.
My Verdict: 3.5/5
