aka Service
Screened in September 2012
Director: Brillante Mendoza. Cast: Jacklyn Jose, Julio Diaz, Gina Pareño, Kristoffer King, Dan Alvaro, Mercedes Cabral, Coco Martin, Buddy Caramat, Roxanne Jordan, Dido De La Paz, Julia Taylor. Screenplay: Armando Lao (based on a screen story by Armando Lao and Boots Agbayani Pastor).
Twitter Capsule: Appealingly low-key ensemble dramedy built around red-light cinema. Saucy but deadpan, like more sex-tinged Tsai Ming-liang.
