Critic After Dark: A Review of Philippine Cinema

Sober, uniformed bank officer by day – crunching numbers and filling out forms and arguing with government employees over the phone – by night, film critic Noel Vera, sits in the darkest corner of the moviehouse, viewing (or enduring) the latest that Philippines cinema has to offer.

The articles collected in this book represent not quite half of what Noel Vera has written from the period 1994 to 2004, more than a decade of near-clandestine writings on cinema, Philippine and otherwise.
