Alfred Yapan's Ang Panggagahasa Kay Fe (The Rapture of Fe), a finalist in this year's Cinemalaya Film Festival, is one of these rarities. It is the story of Fe, brilliantly played by Irma Adlawan, and the men in her life - an abusive husband, an ex-flame, and a secret admirer. The last few minutes of the film is simply terrific and would most probably require repeat viewing or a heated but fun discussion with whoever you went to the movie with.
The film will be in competition this week at the Cairo International Film Festival and at the Bahamas International Film Festival in December. It has also been included in the lineup at the Chicago International Film Festival and the New Delhi's Osian's Cinefan Film Festival.
As luck would have it, the film will have its commercial run in select theatres starting today, most notably at the Robinson's Galleria and Robinson's Place Ermita.
Go watch!

I was there in PICC during the festival but fail to watch the flick. I congratulated Irma though when we bump into each other

I heard a lot of rave reviews about this indie film. :p
i would love to watch that. yeah, i remember this from cinemalaya.
bumabandera and mga indie films ngayon ano..
was this the one you told me about, C.? Well done! Bravo
wow. i'm so glad our movies are improving. go indie filmmakers!
I felt really bad when this film didn't win Best Film at Cinemalaya. Sana maski Best Director man lang nanalo sila, but no, Astig won Best Director. Bitter ba? Eheh.
mukha nga maganda kasi kakaiba. :)
Mmmm kakaiba ah. no macho dancers. no police brutality. si fe lang at mga lalaki sa buhay n'ya. domestic. mas mahirap kayang gumawa ng ganyan kaysa yung may shock value.
Irma Adlawan is an effective and versatile actress. I hope these films are also shown in Ayala Cinemas, Rob is a bit far from my place.
