Gomburza and The Collective Struggle for Truth and Justice

I placed my left hand close to my chest while perched on the plush seats of SM Cinema Iloilo’s Cinema 1 while waiting for the movie Gomburza to start. I was seated beside my cousin, Tata Debbie Hope, and though we were expecting to weep inside the cinema, personally, I had no foresight that the movie would make me tear up so much so, that even when we went out of Cinema 1, we were still…

I thoroughly enjoyed watching the first season of the highly anticipated Netflix original series, "Replacing Chef Chico." The incredible talent of Alessandra de Rossi shines once again as she portrays a dedicated sous-chef in this captivating show. The story revolves around a renowned head chef, Chico, played brilliantly by Sam Milby, whose tragic accident leaves him in a coma. As the fate of their exquisite Filipino fine dining restaurant hangs in the balance, de Rossi's character must step up and face numerous challenges to ensure its continued success.

Throughout the series, viewers are treated to a feast for the senses as they witness the demanding world of culinary perfection, mouth-watering dishes, and the indomitable spirit of the kitchen staff. As our sous-chef takes on this unexpected leadership role, she discovers her own innate strength, resilience, and a newfound passion for her culinary craft. Alongside the delightful storytelling, the series also pays homage to the vibrant Filipino culinary culture, providing a delightful celebration for food enthusiasts and fans of heartwarming stories.

With its heartfelt performances, compelling narrative, and sumptuous visuals, "Replacing Chef Chico" promises to be a must-watch for anyone seeking both entertainment and inspiration. Get ready to embark on a deliciously inspiring journey as this remarkable series brings the magic of Filipino fine dining right into your screens.

MALLARI (2023) - MMFF REVIEW

“‘Di ba’t isang sumpa ang magmahal?”

Mallari does not only showcase the story of the infamous Fr. Severino Mallari, but also delves into the lives of men from succeeding generations of his clan. The first descendant, Johnrey, a documentary filmmaker in post World War II Philippines, and the second being Jonathan De Dios, a doctor and the lead protagonist of the film. The two descendants of Fr. Severino try to discover their family’s darkest secret, which most likely has contributed to the killings and disappearances in Magalang, Pampanga.

All three generations of the Mallari clan are played by Piolo Pascual, which is perceived to be difficult parts to play. However, Pascual was able to to help distinguish one generation from another and yet was able to establish the connection between all three characters.

What also is depicted in the movie is the presence of important female figures in each of the Mallari men’s lives: Dona Facunda, Fr. Severino’s mother played by Ms. Gloria Diaz, Felicity, Johnrey’s wife played by Elisse Joson, and Agnes, Jonathan’s fiancee played by Janella Salvador. All three actresses gave the three women their respective well-defined characters which was able to show how each Mallari’s love for these women had urged them to take greater lengths, even if it will cost them their own morals.

JC Santos does an excellent job in portraying Brother Lucas in the likeness of Brutus from Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar, as he showcases his character’s loyalty and later betrayal to Pascual’s Dr. Jonathan.

The film may remind one of Luca Guadagnino’s Bones and All (2022) with its presence of common themes such as gore and manslaughter. It is also important to note how both Carido and Guadagnino have commonly used manslaughter as a dark metaphor for love as a motive of sacrifice and self-discovery, which the former has executed very well and evidently in Mallari (2023). It also bears similarities with Edgar Wright’s Last Night in Soho (2021) not just with the presence of gore and manslaughter, but also with the key theme of time travel, which the two Mallari descendants have used in order to learn about the dark secret of their family for this film.

The film had a well-organized flow of events, as well as a smooth transition in between time periods. It was able to give me and other viewers proper context and a good idea on how to let the story unfold and think about what could happen next. However, Jonathan’s arc was very anti-climactic towards the end yet it established his arc as an anti-hero.

Another thing to love about this film is that not only did it have Gothic themes and the use of the Catholic faith, which are associated as Western literary and cultural elements, but it also incorporated the use of Filipino folk medicine and faith healing, which are indigenous Filipino cultural elements, as important parts of the film.

In conclusion, Mallari (2023) was a great watch, and it definitely deserved the accolades. Not only did it bring justice to a dark love metaphor, but it also presented and promoted Filipino culture through folk medicine as key horror elements. It is a must watch for traditional Filipino horror movie buffs and those in need of a fresh face to Filipino horror films.

[Metro Manila Film Festival 2023]

RATING - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5
