When news hit that Brillante Mendoza’sย film Maโ Rosaย was nominated at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival, no one was surprised, as his other filmsย films Serbis, Kinatay, and Taklubย were screened in various editions of the festival. Serbisย and Kinatayย were nominated for the Palme dโOr, the festivalโs highest distinction. Kinatay didnโt win the Palme dโOr, but itย wonย the Best Director Award for Mendoza.
But the surprise was in the stars. Ma’ Rosa starsย Jaclyn Jose, Julio Diaz, Andi Eigenmann, Maria Isabel Lopez, Felix Roco, and Jomari Angeles, and both Eigenmann and Lopez slayed. Eigenmann looked so good that she was included in the Vanity Fairย 2016 Cannes Red Carpetโs Best Dressed Celebrities, and Lopez became a viral sensation because of her look.
Maโ Rosaย tells the story of husband and wife Nestor and Rosa who use a sari-sari store as a cover-up for a drug business.ย The film will be screened In Competition, against films by noted directors likeย Pedro Almodovar,ย Jim Jarmusch, Sean Penn, andย Paul Verhoven.
