PUNQ

Rated 20 Feb 2017

Ibong Adarna (1941), the epic fairy tale from the Philippines! The film heavily inspired by The Thief of Bagdad (1940) and films like it. Very ambitious as to how adventurous it looks using big backdrops and optical illusions to get that special feel. While you can complain that it is a little on the slow side and not always as grand as it want's to be, as far as pinoy movies, this is a very special movie, even if it could never compete with similar films from 1st world cinema.
