Reaction:
I am really impressed on this cinematic gem, it made my morning not so good, not to bad either.
I like the rural setting of this indie? (is it?) it adds the gloomy effect of it. i like the rawness of its story, as it depicts some rural realities bringing the end of stereotypings of cinema. the actors are well rehearsed and contributed much to the success of this film. I like the lighting, i think its very natural. this movie is unique in all aspects from the story to the details presented. if you are a movie lover. you must wacth this.
Plot:
Tuli (Filipino for circumcise) is the story of Daisy (Played by Desiree Del Valle) and her life in an isolated Philippine Province. Daisy's father (Played by Bembol Roco) is responsible for the circumcision of almost all the Males in town. Daisy's father is also an abusive drunkard who abuses his wife (Played by Eugene Domingo) and Daisy. Because of this Daisy creates a hatred towards her Father and Men. Daisy's father forces Daisy into a fixed marriage. Daisy doesn't want to marry the Man (Played by Luis Alandy) her Father chose for her. All the while Daisy's best friend (Played by Vanna Garcia) is suffering herself. As is the tradition in this isolated Philippine town Daisy must follow in the footsteps of her Father and become the town's official circumciser. Daisy challenges the status quo and rebels against everything that she hates while a young Man (played by Carlo Aquino) defends her. Tuli is also the story of two best friends who deepen their relationship beyond friendship and a young Man willing to give Daisy everything he's got. In this rite of passage tale Daisy tells you her brutal and painful story.
