Pinoy Sunday
(login to rate)
PINOY SUNDAY is a sunny comedy with a somber undercurrent, a Filipino-Taiwanese mash-up with a little English on the side. Manuel and Dado are “Pinoys,” young Filipinos living in Taipei in a migrant community of non-Chinese speakers. They chafe under the strict rules of the bicycle manufacturing company that employs them, living in fear of not making it back to their dormitory by the time the inscrutable gatekeeper closes the gates every evening. Manuel and Dado both live for Sundays when the overseas Filipino workers seek community around a Catholic church. One Sunday Dado discovers a brand-new red couch standing on a street corner, which he takes as a gift from heaven. All he has to do is persuade Manuel to help him carry this bulky new object of his desire clear across the city and back to their dorm. Inspired by Roman Polanski’s 1958 short film "Two Men and a Wardrobe," PINOY SUNDAY is a slightly surreal exploration of the multicultural landscape and rhythm of modern Taipei. (In Tagalog and Mandarin with subtitles) – B.B.
This film is presented with the generous support of MICHELE OWEN.
