馬尼拉的日與夜
Manila

改編自《MANILA BY NIGHT》和《JAGUAR》兩部小說，監製 Piolo Pascual一人分演兩位男主角︰沉淪毒海的William重出江 湖，招兵買馬，為下一宗毒品大買賣鋪路；Philip為政客當保 鑣，以為老闆待他至親，經槍殺事件後才恍然大悟，危機一觸 即發。菲國電影界異軍突起，Alix Jr與Raya L. Martin這兩大新晉 導演聯手打造馬尼拉的「日」與「夜」，黑白光影之間透視這 個城市的光怪陸離，兩個單元標誌著菲國電影新力量。

Inspired by Ishmael Bernal’s MANILA BY NIGHT, “Day” tackles a day in the life of meth addict William (actor and producer Piolo Pascual), who pursues his next hit while attempting to reconnect with those close to him. “Night” follows Lino Brocka’s JAGUAR, telling the tale of Philip (also Pascual), a bodyguard who discovers – perhaps rudely – his true value to his politician employer. A two-part indie from young filmmakers Raya Martin and Adolf Alix, Jr., MANILA pays tribute to two of the most influential directors in Philippine cinema.
