Imelda Marcos, during her days as the First Lady of the Philippines, became known for her lavishness and detachment from her country’s social reality. Alex Westfall presents a 15-minute-short that tries to explain how a girl who grew up in Tacloban without a mother ended up being the “queen” of the country.
“The Rose of Manila” is screening at Nfmla Monthly Film Festival – InFocus: Asian Cinema
The film begins with an archival interview of hers that took place during 2003, where she presents herself, through Marcos’s opinion, as the mother of the nation. The movie then moves 51 years backwards, somewhere in the island of Leyte, where we are introduced to the young Imelda in a dark, almost ritualistic approach. The next sequences has her in the rather lighted environment she grew up in, showing her, in voyeuristic fashion, trying to cool herself and her pet turtle with a handheld fan,...

If 2021 has been a calvacade of bad decisions, dashed hopes, and warning signs for cinema’s strength, the Criterion Channel’s monthly programming has at least buttressed our hopes for something like a better tomorrow. Anyway. The Channel will let us ride out distended (holi)days in the family home with an extensive Alfred Hitchcock series to bring the family together—from the established Rear Window and Vertigo to the (let’s just guess) lesser-seen Downhill and Young and Innocent—Johnnie To’s Throw Down and Orson Welles’ The Magnificent Ambersons in their Criterion editions, and some streaming premieres: Ste. Anne, Lydia Lunch: The War is Never Over, and The Incredibly True Adventure of Two Girls in Love.
