An over-educated dropout commits a double murder but an innocent family man is arrested and imprisoned for the crime, leaving behind a wife with two children to fend for herself. His devastating twelfth feature (at four-plus hours, one of his shortest), is an ingenious reworking of the themes from Dostoyevsky's Crime and Punishment. This tour de force offers a masterful recapitulation of Diaz's longstanding obsessions: cultural memory, national guilt, and the origin of evil. Fabian, Norte's tortured anti-hero (superbly played by Sid Lucero), may well be his most indelible creation, and he is equally well-served by luminous performances from Angeli Bayani and Archie Alemania as the guiltless couple caught up in the crime.
