LIST: Best Foreign Films of 2010. February 13, 2011 in Film. By Sanriel Chris Ajero. Same script, different casts. My top 40 films of 2010. This list only includes those of foreign origins. I made the same list with local films and it can be found here. Before the top 40, here are other lists I need to get out of my system. Now off to the good stuff. A harsh exercise of violence and its probable origins,. But it is still a welcomed take on the other side of the coin what wrestling is for men, ballet is f...

Wednesday, June 19, 2013. YANGGAW (Richard Somes, 2008). Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). All that I love I view over once and once again. Pamilya Ordinaryo (Eduardo Roy Jr., #Cinemalaya2016 Best Picture). I envy those who viewed Pamilya Ordinaryo without having seen the trailer or teaser. I was there at opening night of the Cinemalaya 2016 and was aghast t. PinoyFilm.com - The Filipino Filmmaking Portal. 2016 NEWPORT BEACH FILM FESTIVAL THANKSGIVING SPECIAL.

Saturday, September 21, 2013. THE GUERILLA IS A POET (Kiri/Sari Dalena, 2013). Hitler, however, was a painter too. The Dalenas seem to tiptoe around the Sisons here, careful to ask sanitized questions and teasing out romantic displays of heroism and comradeship, poetry and song. Was this a documentary ever meant to be an objective one? Thursday, September 12, 2013. TRANSIT (Hannah, Espia, 2013). Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). All that I love I view over once and once again.

Sunday, October 20, 2013. ANG TURKEY MAN AY PABO RIN (Randolph Longjas, 2013). Teased out with a fine-toothed comb for what they are comically worth and how they finally cohere into a repeatable picture of a not-so-uncommon reality: our unique relationship and transaction with the American White through language and logos. But will it all be enough? Will the marriage of miscegenation work out? Tuesday, October 15, 2013. LUKAS THE STRANGE (John Torres, 2013). In this realm of the boy's growing psyche, the...

Thursday, August 8, 2013. DEBOSYON (Alvin Yapan, 2013). Henceforth, a compact between him and us - both sides sustaining, in each other, a mutual faith. Tuesday, August 6, 2013. PUROK 7 (Carlo Obispo, 2013). Saturday, August 3, 2013. AMOR Y MUERTE (Ces Evangelista, 2013). There is more than a. Another Pigafetta footnote that makes it into the film is the supposed use of sexual toys and accessories by pre-Spanish natives.) But. Amor Y Muerte. Sex and violence, in other words, and then where are we? Even t...

Monday, November 25, 2013. ISLANDS (Whammy Alcazaren, 2013). Rigor and restraint remain palpable ideals to admire in the filmmaker, pinpoint in purpose and composition: the concretization of an abstraction, a difficult task, is never refracted nor distorted out of shape. Simply, Islands is of a distinctive look - is this perhaps the filmmaker's coming to his own? Although not necessarily stylized nor rendered raw from the camera. Something - or someone - has driven a wedge between them, a seeming. Only t...

Closely Watched Frames: HOW TO DISAPPEAR COMPLETELY (Raya Martin, 2013)
http://cineastefilipinas.blogspot.com/2013/12/how-to-disappear-completely-raya-martin.html
Saturday, December 21, 2013. HOW TO DISAPPEAR COMPLETELY (Raya Martin, 2013). How the warring ideologies symbolically engage each other represents the film's most allegorically indelible, if chilling, imagery. This climaxes in the symbolic burning and desecration of cruciforms that suggest an awakening from spiritual, or perhaps historical, passivity. Who are these rampaging figures, however, at the forefront of these subversive acts of irreligion? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Lagarista.com...
