Inserts

About This Movie

Inserts is this really intriguing mix of old footage, almost a collage, that dives into the colonial Philippine society but with a heavy dose of sarcasm. The tone feels like a slap in the face while also making you question what you’re actually watching. The pacing is all over the place, which some might find disjointed, but it totally works for the kind of atmosphere it’s trying to create. The practical effects are raw and gritty, and the performances, although not widely known, have this peculiar intensity that sticks with you. It's distinctive in how it handles such a complex theme, and the choice of visuals really challenges the viewer to think. Definitely a film that reflects its time yet feels oddly modern in its critique.

Inserts has had a somewhat checkered format history, often appearing in limited runs and obscure releases, which makes it quite rare in collector circles. It's not one of those films you'll find in every collection, and its distinct tone and unconventional style contribute to its appeal among enthusiasts of experimental cinema. Due to its scarcity and unique perspective, there's a growing interest among collectors who appreciate its bold approach to storytelling.
