Aureaus Solito, Director of coming-of-age charmer THE BLOSSOMING OF MAXIMO OLIVEROS and lesbian fantasy TULI, scuba-dives headlong into recondite mysticism. He takes indigenous myths, music, dialects and shamanistic beliefs and practices belonging to the Palawan region, and sprinkles them whimsically around a non-linear tale of tribal life, death and rebirth.
BUSONG maps the journey of Angkarang (Rodrigo Santikan), who carries his sister Punay (Alessandra de Rossi) in on ornate hammock to find a cure for the running sores that cover her body. On their way, different people help her, though they themselves are on some kind of quest. Their search leads them to meet several strangers - the widow (Bonivie Budao), of a logger, a fisherman (Dax Alejandro), and Aris (Clifford Banagale), who comes from the capital in search of his Palawan roots, and fatefully becomes Punay’s healer.
RAKENROL HAWAII PREMIERE SATURDAY, OCT. 15 | 6:15 PM | REGAL DOLE
PHILIPPINES 2011 | TAGALOG WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLES | 110M DIRECTOR: Quark Henares SCREENWRITER: Diego Castillo, Quark Henares PRODUCERS: Mads Adrias CINEMATOGRAPHER: Pong Ignacio CAST: Jason Abalos, Glaiza de Castro, Ketchup Eusebio, Diether Ocampo, Alwyn Uytingcomi
If you have ever stood in an empty dive bar to see a band no one has ever heard of and was moved enough to stay after the gig to shell out five dollars for their home made CD, then Quark Henares’ RAKENROL is the type of film you will cherish. Part ONCE and part HIGH FIDELITY, Henares has created a paean to underground music scenes and its rabid followers.
The film follows indie-rock devotees Odie and Irene as they form a friendship built on their passion for local underground music. Whether sitting around their apartment listening to CD’s of obscure bands, or going to shows, theirs is a match made in platonic heaven. Eventually they decide to form their own band and in many ways, RAKENROL is a heartfelt tribute to the trials and tribulations of the life of a band. It’s an honest depiction filled with hilarity and heartache following the formation of the Hapipaks, from their first show to recording their first album. But, despite all the complications the music prevails. After all, that’s what really matters. –Joel Quizon
