MULI (September, 2010 - 6/5 stars)

Category:Movies
Genre: Independent
"walang panahon ang asawa mo sa iyo, tapos pupunta ka sa akin. bakit, ano ba ako sa iyo?

i would say this is a runaway winner. the perspective is excellent - intertwining a modern-day story into a periodic setting. the choice of talents (sid lucero, cogie domingo along with the supporting casts including "bobet", et al) were perfect. the minor details including the tv set, the wall mirrors used, the steel sala set, were all contributory to the fact that the director really has an eye for intricacies not to discount the perfume bottles (issey miyaki) turned backwards to make the scenes truly realistic.

yes, there were gay love scenes (you may call it a footprint for all the pinoy indie films), but more importantly is how tasteful they shot it to look more like "love scene" than plain calling it "plain sex".

actually, i'll give it a 6-stars if only the ratings allow.

special fx: 5, storyline : 5, concept : 5, consistency :5
