Silip: Daughters Of Eve (product link) Erotica / Drama
 Disturbing!
Violence and sex - and nothing else throughout the movie - is what it's about.
Right from the opening scene that will have many people turn it off right then and there.
At least human beings can defend themselves.
It took me 3 attempts to watch the movie in its entirety. The movie does not paint a very flattering picture of the Philippines, in general, but then again neither does Lars von Triers' 'The Idiots' about Denmark.
Left with the feeling that barbarism, sex and Jesus is all that is on the mind of the Filipino population, I think this movie is backfiring in its attempt to cast light on taboos in the Philippines. |
