MANILA, Philippines—Once again, critics are either raving or ranting about the Philippines’ Main Competition entry in the ongoing Cannes Film Festival
.
Early reviews of Brillante Mendoza’s “Kinatay” (literally, “butchered”), which premiered on Sunday in the world’s most prestigious gathering of movies for exhibition and competition, were posted online the very next day.
I think Mendoza just wants to create a movie that is all factual, having said that im sure it was based on a true story, he is just a good director wanting to be all about reality.
