TIMESTAMPS

(00:00) Start

(00:58) The Bride!

(34:03) SISA

First, we dive into Maggie Gyllenhaal's wildly polarizing and high-octane The Bride, debating its mesmerizing opening, confusing character arcs, and Jessie Buckley's electrifying performance as the propulsive engine of the film.

Then, we pivot to what we are boldly calling the best Filipino film of the year: Jun Robles Lana's SISA! A profoundly empowering look at Filipina women during the Philippine-American War that's anchored by Hilda Koronel's mind-blowing performance.

Get ready as we break down why The Bride is a must-discuss visual feast and why Sisa is an absolute masterpiece worthy of next year's Oscars!

ABOUT THE MOVIES:

THE BRIDE! - Directed by Maggie Gyllenhaal, The Bride is an avant-garde, loose adaptation of the classic Frankenstein mythos. The story follows a lonely Frankenstein's monster, played by Christian Bale, who seeks a life partner. This leads to the reanimation of a murdered woman, played by Jessie Buckley, who grapples with fractured identities and traumatic memories. The film blends gothic horror with old Hollywood flair and a fascinating exploration of female agency and consent.

SISA - Written and directed by Jun Robles Lana, Sisa is a historical revenge fantasy set at the tail end of the Philippine-American War. In a deeply impoverished provincial town near an American garrison, a mysterious woman named Sisa, played by Hilda Koronel, suddenly appears. The film explores the complex dynamics between Filipina women, the crushing weight of toxic masculinity, and culminates in a fiery, cathartic stand against their oppressors.
