Nothing Special   »   [go: up one dir, main page]

A low-budget, critically-acclaimed drama.
7 September 2000
Jeffrey Jeturian's first feature film was a critics' favorite two years ago, though it failed to hit the right notes at the box-office where it was shown on a "first-day and last-day" basis. Nida Blanca plays a mother who grieves over the death of her professor-husband (Chinggoy Alonzo), while ertswhile sexy actor Gerald Madrid plays the son who finds the love he's looking for in the hands of his father's concubine (model-turned-actress Angel Aquino), setting the plot for an old-fashioned melodrama. The acting is a mixture of the 50's and 90's style, and even the camerawork is a bit murky and dizzying especially in the scene wherein the two lead characters had a confrontation. But this independent film is still borderline watchable.
