Mike de Leon returns with ‘Citizen Jake’
YOU can never lock-in director Mike de Leon as a one-genre wonder. His body of work spans a lot of them, from romance/coming of age (Kung Mangarap Ka’t Magising) to musical (Kakaba Ka Ba?) to horror (Kisapmata) and even dark comedy (Bayaning Third World). But those familiar with him have observed that while his body of work is very varied, there is an underlying and recurring theme of fighting the system and challenging the norms.
