TROPICAL GOTHIC

BEAUTY/BEAST: Aleera Montalla in Richard Somes' YANGGAW

BEAUTY/BEAST: Aleera Montalla in Richard Somes' YANGGAW

Let me get to the point: If there is one film you should see in the theaters this year then let it be none other than Richard Somes’ Yanggaw. Amids all the hoopla of the just concluded Cinemalaya Film Festival and brouhaha that’s now surrounding the local screenings of Brillante Mendoza’s Kinatay, it’s perhaps the theatrical release of this film that is most deserving of attention of a movie-loving local audience. If anything, Yanggaw is the kind of film you wish everyone was making: “indie” and mainstream — yeah, it’s that good.

It boasts an impressive cast of actors including Techie Agabayani, one of UNO V2.0 Magazine’s 52 Women on Top (June ’09)…

and Ronnie Lazaro.

“Ronnie Lazaro is so undeniable a presence, his intense eyes and sweaty body heavy with the stench of conflict but burdened with his convictions, that its verisimilitude is absolute…”

Catch Yanggaw at the IndieSine of the Robinson’s Galleria until Aug. 4.
