Brillante Mendoza’s “Serbis”

I was surprised while browsing Yahoo! Movies today. I saw a familiar title of a movie called Serbis which have gotten me curious enough to view the trailer. Yup, it was the same movie shown in some film festivals outside the Philippines. There were articles about it before, saying Sean Penn or some actor liking it and would try to help Mr. Mendoza, the director, distribute the film in the U.S. All gay films are always controversial in the Philippines and this particular film is not an exception. It did not have a nationwide showing and was considered an art film. As expectedly, few people know of this film. If not for some news about its run in international film festivals, fewer would have known of this. This is a small film and it’s really nice that someone took a chance on it. Admittedly, it’s not my type of film. I can’t say I would have watched it before if I had known it then. I just wish those brilliant indie film directors would make movies that do not have to be about gays or sex. I’m not saying they shouldn’t ever put gays or sex on it but make it more subtle without compromising what they want to impart to the moviegoer. Not many people want to watch this kind of movie as it is.

Here is the link to the trailer:
