Boso [peeping Tom]

http://pinoy-sexy-psp.blogspot.com - An obvious homage to Peque Gallaga's "Scorpio Nights," Boso tries very hard to inject an existentialist standpoint to a noticeable sexploitation flick by Digital viva (Vic Del Rosario's feeble attempt to lure young indies into the mainstream). But Jon Red very much succeeds in providing adequate visual pleasure, thanks to the Viva Hot Babes and his overextended sex scenes.
Reminiscent of previous works "Still Lives" and "Astigmatism," Red is a master of the digital medium, experimenting with unusual angles, freeflowing movements and fancy editing. Incidentally, he is the most active Filipino digital filmmaker at the moment, more than his revered brother Raymond. However, like most indies in the Philippines, Boso is guilty of narrative lapses, like, who would laugh his heart out at a Pinoy funeral? Given our high respect for the dead, this scene is unthinkable in Filipino culture. Boso's conclusion is also no exception, as the audience is left thinking why the protagonist is not arrested despite the revelation at the end.

Jeffrey Quizon (as protagonist Jake) is similar in more ways than one to his father and iconic funnyman Dolphy, and as such fails to provide an earnest philosophical underpinning to this movie. But more than anything, Boso works best as softcore porn to the male voyeur gaze. If you get hold of the DVD, don't forget to watch the extras!
