CANNIBAL LOVE STORY ‘BONES AND ALL’ NOW IN PH CINEMAS WITHOUT CUTS
After playing to sold-out screenings at the QCinema Film Festival, the controversial film “Bones and All”—a story of tender love and cannibalism—finally opened nationwide on Nov. 23 with an R-16 rating from the Movie & Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB).
The MTRCB explained in its decision that “the film contains graphic but nongratuitous depiction of violence and gore, as well as themes of cannibalism that may not be suitable for children below 16 years of age.”
The New York Times has described the film as “gory, ridiculous and curiously touching,” while the Los Angeles Times found it “unsettling and heartbreaking in equal measure.”
“Bones and All” is a movie about love, directed by Luca Guadagnino (“Call Me by Your Name”), who recently won the Silver Lion for Best Director at the 2022 Venice Film Festival for the film. It’s a story about the love that blossoms between Maren (Taylor Russell), a young woman learning to survive on the margins of society, and Lee (Timothée Chalamet), an intense and disenfranchised drifter.
Kelvin Miranda’s feel-good song
Kelvin Miranda has just released his latest single under GMA Music titled “Sumayaw,” an upbeat track composed by Viktor Nhiko Sabiniano. The music, Kelvin said, isn’t about love, but about taking a leap of faith.
“Sa totoo lang, medyo kinakabahan ako kasi first time naming maglalabas ng upbeat na kanta,” Kelvin admitted. “For me, the word ‘sayaw’ is a metaphor to being carefree. That it’s OK to dance and temporarily forget about your troubles, If you have a problem, you can shake it off by dancing.”
