Director Lav Diaz's nine-hour, black-and-white feature "Death in the Land of Encantos" unfolds against a Filipino backdrop immediately following the destruction of that country's Bicol region by typhoon Durian. Roeder Camanag stars as Benjamin Agusan, an acclaimed Filipino poet who returns from Russia to his native village. Horrified to discover that the entire community has been buried under landslides of mud, Agusan begins wandering through the devastated countryside, reconnecting with distraught friends, lovers and family members whose lives now verge on the brink of destruction.
