Can traumatic events change a mature person, or are our personalities fully formed at a young age? Can an unconventional love rescue one from the depths of despair? These are among the many intriguing questions posed by the extraordinary new film, ??Sabel,?? which features teleserye princess Judy Ann Santos in her most challenging role to date.
Sabel is the type of film, now rarely produced, that ought to serve as reminder to local commentators that film criticism is more than just a matter of collecting their share of booty from annual awards-night telecasts. The movie presents difficult analytical and ethical challenges in a deceptively lyrical, bittersweet, and compassionate manner, a throwback to the original ideals of the French New Wave and its immediate aftermath in Prague Spring cinema.
What enables the film to withstand critical scrutiny is its daring plunge through the thickets of radical gender politics. Where it winds up is as far from a politically correct normative position as it??s been possible to depict onscreen in local cinema. The eponymous central character undergoes an odyssey that takes her in directions even she could not anticipate. Such unpredictability, coupled with the filmmakers?? refusal to pass judgment on her decisions, may be the key to the largely belligerent responses of film reactors so far.
