Huling Ulan Sa Tag-araw (MMFF 2021)
Directed by: Louie Ignacio
A seminarian hired a prostitute
for a week-long province vacation.
The movie is brave in choosing a controversial and sensitive topic. However, it was not utilized for the greater good.
The church is nothing but a mere shooting location. The club is just a hallow space for production numbers.
The characters don’t seem to care about their roles in the society. The discussions they had were insignificant and not fruitful.
What we get is their romance story that’s anti-climactic and unrealistic.
Some scenes are forced. It’s just there to add more drama to the story. The direction is unexciting and passionless.
Si Rita Daniela ang nagdala ng buong palabas. Katulad ng kanyang makulay na peluka, binigyan niya rin ng kulay ang matamlay na pelikula.
Gamit na gamit ang kanyang magandang boses. Siya ang umawit ng nakakaantig na OST— “Umulan Man O Umaraw”—na ilang beses pinatugtog sa mga eksena.
Pag narinig mo na ang awiting ito, senyales na para umiyak ka. Mag-d-drama na sila.
Okay ang aktingan nila Ken Chan at Rita Daniela. Pero hindi makatotohanan ang nangyayari sa mga karakter nila. Para tuluyan kang mabihag sa ginagawa nila.
Upang mapanindigan ang pamagat ng pelikula at ng kanta, ipinakita talaga nila na umulan at umaraw sa kalangitan.
Nauulanan ang pelikulang ito ng samu-saring ganap. Pero ang pinaka-ugat ng kwento ay binaon nila sa dilim. Hindi na nasiktan ng araw.
