have been reading up on ishmael bernal‘s filmography, encoding clippings from jorge‘s files of movie reviews and interviews through the years since pagdating sa dulo. last night when i got to his days as “detergent queen,” then as stage actor (death in the form of a rose — a great review & interview by rolando tinio), and then his last film wating, tinamaan ako ng matinding lungkot, for him, for the film industry, for nation… bumubuwelo now to get back to it :(
