Brillante Mendoza Won Best Director at Cannes Film Festival
Brilliante Mendoza
Brilliant Filipino Director Brillante Mendoza won the Best Director Award at the 62nd Cannes Film Festival last Sunday (May 24) for his dark movie “Kinatay.”
The film tells about a chilling story of a kidnap-rape victim (portrayed by Maria Isabel Lopez) who is beaten up before she is killed and cut to pieces.
Mendoza is the first ever Filipino to win Best Director for a full-length film. He was also able to beat filmmakers Quentin Tarantino (Inglourious Basterds) and Ang Lee (Taking Woodstock) for the best director’s award category this year.
Congratulations to Brillante Mendoza for making the Philippines proud again in the international movie arena!
Cheers,

Ang galing ng Pinoy! The likes of Direct Mendoza deserves the proper public recognition. Sayang the movie will not be shown in public because of its violent content.

Yeah, sadly Yami hindi siya mapapanuod. MTRCB will make ‘katay’ to the graphical scene…hehehe.

Magaling nga ang mag films ng pinoy kapag hindi dumaan sa MTRC. Kapag dumaan kasi sa kanila, kinatay na ang film mo. Hindi na mananalo. hehehe.
