About This Movie

So, 'Iskandalo' from '79, directed by Joey Gosiengfiao, is this intriguing blend of drama and complicated relationships. You've got this guy grappling with the fallout of a fractured family, and then there's this girl who's entangled with her professor, which adds layers of tension and moral ambiguity. The pacing feels a bit languid, but it works for the emotional depth they're mining. The performances are raw, particularly in how they show vulnerability and confusion. What stands out is Gosiengfiao's knack for capturing the nuances of youth and heartache, along with some striking visuals that linger long after the credits roll. It’s a piece that feels very much of its time, yet still resonates today in its exploration of personal turmoil.
