Description:"The choice of whether to continue or abandon writing, whenever it came up, was always difficult for Mike, who had methodically avoided talking about his personal life for decades. We shelved the project for a time when he began shooting a new feature film, but when we returned to it during the pandemic, I found that Mike had produced a "film book" filled with lovingly selected photographs from his grandmother's, his father's, and his own cinema and captions that rang with the familiar wry humor of his films, only this time, "spoken" in his voice. More than a personal history, the book had become a history of LVN told from the viewpoint of its last heir in cinema. Part of his memory work and paralleling the writing and editing phases is the meticulous way he curated, digitized, and made his forebears' surviving films available to the public online.As he indicates in the following pages, he treated the production of this book no different from the way he co-wrote, photographed, produced, and directed his films. I take this to mean that we are invited not to use the book to reconsider his cinema retrospectively but to read it as an artist's historically specific and situated expression. As a new work, it does not foreclose interpretations of his previous films but engages with them anew, opening a new dialogue, revealing their meaning yet to be manifold and multiple.Mike De Leon's Last Look Back is here now. For Mike, it allows him to open new doors and walk away from old ones. it is a document of the auteur's itinerary of passages and striving for self-knowledge at this stage in his life. For many of us, it is a guidepost for writing our film history. But more than that, it provides intimate access to how an artist, whose films have helped define our journey as a nation, remembers his country's history and cinema, giving flesh to memory and reasons as to why there are things we should never forget."-Patrick F.
