Two PH films in USC mag yearender

Two Filipino films made it in the best Asian films of 2014 lineup, drafted by Asia Pacific Arts, the online magazine of the University of Southern California. Critic Brian Hu ranked Lav Diaz’s “Mula sa Kung Ano ang Noon” No. 1 on the Top 10 list. Said Hu: “As staggering an achievement as any recent work of world cinema…[it] seeks nothing short of becoming the seminal film of the Philippine nation.” Milo Sogueco’s Cinemalaya X entry “Mariquina” was a runnerup.
