The Remotes rekindles the fascination with the night that we discovered in Lino Brocka's Manila in the Claws of Light, this time in a world of automation, surveillance and diffuse violence. Torres's poetic opening inserts into this environment, portrayed with the codes of science fiction and crime films and haunted by grief, a moving reflection on unity and loss.
