Movie Review: ‘Araro’ – Plowing the Farmer

Bored housewife. Bisexual husband. Mysterious stranger. Isolated farm. Could’ve been an explosive mix if maybe, Lino Brocka directed it, or Martin Scorsese. However, there’s nothing much going on here. Slow pacing, nonexistent storyline - I guess even the actors are bored to their senses. As for the token sex scenes – well – a ménage-a-trois would’ve been enticing but here – it’s just plain boring. The M2M action would’ve been interesting if not for the bamboos! Harang, if there was one!

This film certainly does not help the cause of Philippine independent films.

Should you waste your 160 pesos on this: Save it. There’s porno on the Internet. And some of them have a decent plot!
