Post-Daybreak. Its a new day.... watched Serbis... and it resuscitated my adoration for alternative cinema. Brillante is brilliant. My first from him. I am not disappointed.
It was not only because of Coco's hard triggered purplish weapon or his perfect patootie (minus the boils). Nor Kristopher King's soft-penile demonstration with that mixed-race bayot with boobs. Not even Lola Gina P's slap-Nora-in the-face acting. Maybe, it was more of Brillante's radical work. Everything just turned out remarkable.
His characters walk the building's labyrinthine corridors (with the style Gus Van Sant used in Elephant), symbolizing the complicated paths these souls take in life. The filthiness (ex. flooded restrooms) of the old movie house where they reside is a representation of their own impurities. Sabi nga ni Ate Gina: "Madaming aayusin sa sinehan na to!"
One of my fave scenes: The Sapatos scene with Lola G and Ate J.
Serbis is my kind of movie. Thanks Brillante Mendoza and to Here! Productions. More exquisite Pinoy Movies from you, Please (without the 'lang'!)
