Summary: essential PI bold
Comment: In the Philippines, "bold" films are films that show a lot of skin. SILIP is one of the boldest of the bold. SILIP has nudity and violence galore. The opening scene, the real slaughter of a carabao with an ax, hints at what's coming. The dvd has both the original Tagalog version with English subtitles and an English dubbed version. The original with the mesmerizing soundtrack is superior.
SILIP ("peeping" in Tagalog) is a difficult film to categorize. At first glance, it looks like exploitative drive-in fare. Then the film gets under your skin. Is it saying something about the church? Is it sexist? Look at the barren landscape and all the blue. Is the blue supposed to simulate night or some twisted Garden of Eden? I'm struggling with two possible interpretations. Either SILIP is a polemic about the unnatural strictures placed upon women by men and the church, or a satire of rural life in the Philippines. My consideration of satire is partly based on the ad libbed scene where Ms. Emmanuelle chides real life good friend Ms. Lopez for not wearing skivvies.
Mondo Macabro is to be commended. I've been limping along with a VHS version, dubbed into English with Chinese subtitles. The dvd has some minor flaws, but is a vast improvement of the previous versions in circulation. The extras include an interview with Maria Isobel Lopez. She's articulate and still a stunner. I just wish they could have done a better job with the English subtitles. I'm guessing the translation was by an Aussie. That's the only way to explain the occasional jarring interjection of "bloody" into the subtitles.
If you like something different, and have a strong stomach, SILIP is worth a look.

Summary: Holy Fragarolly!!!!!
Comment: I don't know what to say. i got this movie based on the cover and some of the early reviews that it was going to be a a lot of pretty island chicks naked and running around and stuff. How could I have been so wrong? Beheadings, gang-rapes, waaayy too much adolescent nudity(!), animal cruelty, and just for the hell of it, naked grown men fighting with kids. And you know what? I still don't know what the movie is about. I'm not even sure that it's legal to have a copy of this thing! If you want to see a raw, crude, mouth dropping movie, get this film. I've seen cannibal films and stuff like that but this was shocking. I can't even decide if its a good shocking or a bad shocking. Wow....
