the Mike De Leon film that made me the most kilig
tamest of his films that i’ve seen so far, this one is sweet, charming, and silently heart breaking.
watching this alone at the AC was comforting, which i think is what De Leon’s films have become for me. recognizing cast members, becoming accustomed to his brilliant use of long zooms, and delighting in the natural performances he gets out of his actors; i’ve reached the point in his filmography where all of it feels familiar, yet entirely new for each story. i think it’s a testament to his versatility as a director and storyteller.
seeing a young Christopher De Leon was crazy, but WOW Hilda Koronel is an absolute star. i’ve only ever seen her in Manila in the Claws of Light, so to see her in a full role was breathtaking. she’s incredibly magnetic as a performer, perfect for that era and Ana’s character.
the yearning in this movie is off the charts
i’m so surprised at how Mike De Leon was able to tell (what i’d imagine to be) a scandalous story at the time in such a delicate manner. while it’s not my favorite of his, and imo not his strongest, it’s a great showing and full of heart.

they found the empty pieces that were missing in their lives with eo, and being 2geder makes them feel complete. even that feeling is ephemeral, maybe it is what they need to feel alive again and to face the reality that they wished were different
