THEN AND NOW (Noon At Ngayon)
(Philippines, 2003) Dir.: Marilou Diaz-Abaya; Scr: Ricky Lee
NOON AT NGAYON, a sequel to the hit film MORAL about the lives of
four women growing up in the ‘80s, continues their journey twenty
years later. The women, now matriarchs, are reunited and enter one
another’s lives when Joey (Dina Bonnevie) returns home after
living in the U.S. for years. Kathy (Jean Garcia) has given up her
girlhood dream of becoming a singer—something which her teenaged
daughter, Bernadette, seems to have inherited. Liberal Sylvia (Eula
Valdez) ironically recoils at her grown son’s infertility. And
Maritess (Cherry Pie Picache), a widow, has to contend with the complexities
of being a mother to independent, self-asserting young adults.
35mm, 125 min., color, Narrative, in Tagalog w/Eng. subtitles
