	Description:		Interview during the 81st edition of Venice International Film Festival with Lav Díaz, director of “Phantosmia“. The movie, out of competition here in Venice, tells the story of a former soldier in Philippines that begins to experiment a weird sensation: a smell that nobody else can smell. The a doctor tells him that he suffers an illness called phantosmia. Our interview with the filmmaker addresses the length of the film -four hours-, its format -black and white- and how he considers that going to the cinema is a collective experience that we should defend. Lav Díaz tells us about the current situation in his country, where violence remains present in everyday’s life. In “Phantosmia” a former member of the military is forced to review his past, full of that violence, in order to cure the mysterious illness he’s affected by. During the journey he’ll discover that memory can heal the wounds of the past. The post “Phantosmia”, interview with the director Lav Díaz appeared first on Fred Film Radio.
