Under A Piaya Moon (PCPFF 2024)
Directed by: Kurt Soberano
Two lovers talk under the moon
which looks like a Piaya.
The technical elements of this film didn’t disappoint. The editing, musical scoring, and sound design are in sync. The visuals are pretty. The production design did justice to the 1988 and bakery setting.
The conscious effort to promote local ingredients and delicacies is greatly appreciated. The casting of local actors that naturally speak their dialect is truly notable.
Mabilis umusad ang istorya at mabilis ka ring makakasunod. Tuloy tuloy lang ang pagkwento. Madalas, binabalewala nila ang mga isyu na kailangan pang pagdiskusyunan. Move on sila kaagad kahit hindi pa dapat. Pinapagaan nila ang mabibigat na bagay kahit hindi angkop sa sitwasyon.
Magandang tingnan ang mga tinapay na kanilang ginagawa, pero hindi ito gaanong nakakatakam. Halo-halo ang mga ipinapakita. Salpak sila nang salpak ng kung anu-anong ingredients. Kapos sa pagbahagi ng halaga ng bawat isa. Hindi rin gaanong naihalintulad ang mga ito sa kanilang pagkatao. Kinukulang sila sa gawa at sumusobra sa mga mabilisang pangaral.
The movie has assorted messages, and they aren’t mixed evenly. Most of the time, the characters contradict each other or even themselves. In the end, no message stood out.
Gaya ng buwan,
ang pelikulang ito ay magandang tingnan.
Pero kapag kinagat mo na,
hindi pala siya kasing-sarap ng Piaya.
