Fresh off its Vancouver Film Fest showing, Rico Ilarde's
Altar is showing at Indiesine starting today, october 29 until November 4.
It's bleak and brilliant. An Asian horror must. And yeah, it's one of the best movies of 2007, foreign or otherwise. My
thoughts.
But don't take my word for it.
Take theirs - - -
"A force to be reckoned with. One of the best films of the year." Noel Vera, Critic After
Dark
"Masterpiece. ...(Ilarde is) a maverick." Olaf Moller, Senses of Cinema
"We've never shown a Filipino genre movie (at the VIFF) before, but that's because hardly
any of them have the visual flair that this one does." Tony Rayns, 2008 Vancouver
International Film Festival, Canada
"Altar represents a maturing and definition of Ilarde's work to date." Roger Garcia, 2008
Udine Far East Film Festival, Italy
"Unsettling. ...Altar might very well be my favorite Ilarde." Oggs Cruz, Lessons From the
School of Inattention
