"The big winner of this year’s festival is Ray Gibratar’s Wanted: Border. And what a film it is. Gibraltar had previously directed the sublime comedy When Timawa Meets Delgado, and so expectations were already pretty high. But with this film, Gibraltar goes in the complete opposite direction, showcasing an understanding of the craft that his previous film had only hinted at. The movie is probably one of the darkest movies I’ve seen all year, delving deep into the lives of people who have completely given in to their most primal urges. Here is a movie about people driven completely by the Ids, living in a stylized world where violence is commonplace, and some level of abuse is always expected. There’s some magnificent storytelling at play here, Gibraltar weighing the bleakness of his subject with some of the sharpest gallows humor to have come out of Philippine cinema. A great lead performance from Rosanna Roces only adds to the mastery. As the winner of this year’s festival, the movie will get an Indiesine run later this year, and I truly hope that people will go see it. It is a harrowing film experience that I would recommend to anyone." Click the City.
Rosanna Roces is the first celebrity to wear F.A.R.M. in a movie.
Award-winning director Ray Gibraltar, who's got affection for Baao, its people, and their advocacies is doing a project with Buttons to Hope soon. We pray for the good Lord to allow it to happen.
Congratulations Direk Ray and the beautiful cast of Wanted: Border, from the button of our hearts!
