Angel Aquino naghubo’t hubad; imbiyerna kay Lav Diaz
This Lav Diaz is really FEELING pala. Known far and wide as the director of films na umaabot ng limang oras and more ang screening, Lav was assured of a slot daw sa isang renowned film festival.
Since nagwagi siya before, meron siyang slot sa competitive level provided that his entry will run for more than three hours only.
Lav reportedly agreed with the filmfest organizer.
He gave his word na hindi siya lalagpas sa more than three hours na pinag-usapan.Then, he contacted Angel Aquino for a role of a lifetime bilang isang novice.
Since malapit na siyang maging madre ay pinalabas siya sa convent para ma-experience ang outside world. Angel’s character explored in the outside world, nakipagrelasyon, uminom, gumimik, namuhay ng normal na babae.
At nang malapit na siyang maging madre, she was torn between her beliefs and her insatiable desire to be a normal woman.
In the final scene, Angel’s character, facing a makeshift altar in all her naked glory, slit her clitoris.
Hindi ba, role of a life time ‘yon? Now, here’s the rub. Tumanggi pala itong si Lav na putulan ang mga eksena sa kanyang movie na ito dahil lumagpas ito sa napag-usapang oras.
Hindi siya tumupad sa usapan kaya hindi ito nakasali sa film festival. Hinayang na hinayang, siyempre si Angel. She has already given up many things for this movie and then all went to naught.
Naimbiyerna siya kay Lav. Can you imagine, Lav asked Angel to shoot the movie during the Lenten Season? Since ang ganda ng role, hindi nagdalawang-isip si Angel na i-sacrifice ang kanyang Mahal na Araw with her family.
Nakakaloka itong si Lav, ha. Puwede naman niyang iklian ang ilang eksena sa movie pero ayaw niya. ‘Yung scene raw ni Bart Guingona na naglalakad lang sa pagkahaba-habang kalye ay puwede namang iklian but Lav didn’t.
True ba ito, Lav? Lav, we think, has not yet reached the level of artistry of Lino Brocka and Ishmael Bernal pero kung maka-attitude siya ay ganoon na lang.
While it is true that he’s scored major success sa international scene, boring naman para sa marami ang kanyang movie dahil sa ang haba ng oras ng screening nito palagi.
We heard na ang iba ay nagwo-walkout na at hindi nila ma-take na pagkahaba-haba ng kanilang pinanonood. During intermission nga raw ng movie screening niya ay nag-o-offer daw ng lugaw itong si Lav. Is Lav even aware of that?
