- Title
Third cinema, queer technique, and Manila’s multiple characters.
- Authors
Diaz, Josen Masangkay
- Abstract
He explains that critics often misread Bernal's film in relation to those of other Filipino and Third World film practitioners, a tendency that often ignores the film's techniques and limits its reach (102). Related to David's argument is the fact that the book appears in the "queer film classics" series, and David considers Manila an inarguably queer film. As can be seen in the film's narrative complexity, David centers his analysis of Manila on the significance of the multiple-character film, paying close attention to the genre's various uses over time and across space. Pointing to Bernal's earlier film Aliw (1980) as Manila's prequel, David argues that Bernal determined that the documentary aesthetic was the most suitable method for matching western-sourced technology with third world realities.
