简介：Jose Rizal's gothic masterpiece, magnificently adapted by one of Philippine cinema's finest filmmakers, with a towering performance by Pancho Magalona as the dark and brooding Simoun. Gerardo De Leon pushes the novel's social and political details into the backgroundand brings the characters' humanity to fore; Magalona's Simoun isn't just some symbol of social dissatisfaction and revolution but a man haunted by the tragedy of his former life. His mind wavers-- sometimes breathtakingly so--between a determination to execute his plans for bloody vengeance and a sense of horror at the evil he has become.
