SineBuano recommends “Astig”
by CardinalB ~ August 11th, 2008. Filed under: SineBuano Reviews.“Astig” - Spin off from the independent film “Confessional”
I bumped into this short film in You tube; because the success and critical acclaim of filmmaker Jerrold Tarog for his work in The Confessional, (which I haven’t seen yet).
ASTIG is a spin-off, so they say, of one of the characters of the Confessional movie.
It’s amazing to see how Cebuano actor Jai Rabin metamorphoses into the story’s swaggering tourist and taxi passenger.
It’s very predictable but that’s the point; the story is a mere look into ethnocentrism… and I’m assuming that’s also one of the themes in “Confessional.”
