It Is Always Raining in the Countryside

About This Movie

So, 'It Is Always Raining in the Countryside' is quite a striking documentary. It stitches together raw footage of typhoons battering Cagayan, creating this heavy, immersive atmosphere. The pacing feels slow but intentional, almost meditative, allowing the viewer to sit with the overwhelming weight of the rain and the winds. There's a deeply personal touch, like a letter to someone long gone, and that adds layers of grief and longing. The practical effects of nature are front and center—no dramatizations, just the raw power of the elements. It's a unique exploration of silence amidst chaos, and it really makes you think about loss and memory. It’s a heavy watch, but there’s a certain beauty to that.
