 Review Movie of  " PALITAN " 

Driven by Desire | #Vivamax | 

Tittle : Palitan ( 2021 )

When a dare pushes two couples into an orgy, suppressed feelings rekindle between the two ladies, who were once bestfriends and lovers.

Director    : Brillante Mendoza

Writer : Honeylyn Joy Alipio

Stars : Cara Gonzales, Jela Cuenca, Luis Hontiveros

After the uneventful first hour, Mendoza immediately upped the ante of cinematic eroticism by throwing in two all-nude menage-a-quatre sequences, one right after the other. The first was when groom, his best man and his new friend all had a go with a lone prostitute at the same time in a cramped washroom at the stag party. The second featured the four main actors going at each other side by side au naturel on a rocky shelf of a running brook. 

Among the four main actors, it was Cara Gonzales who was given the most well-developed role as Jen, and she rose to the challenge of confidently portraying this conflicted character. Gonzales actually had easy chemistry with both lusty Luis Hontiveros and sweet Jela Cuenca. Cuenca in fact had more romantic chemistry with Gonzales than she did with Rash Flores, who looked ill-at-ease and self-conscious the whole time compared to the others. 

Mendoza threw shade about the local practices of matrimony. He showed how people would rather go into debt or depend on sponsors' cash gifts just to get the wedding of their dreams. Strict and religious fathers swore by benefits of a union sanctified by the Catholic Church, yet could not keep his own marriage intact, nor keep his daughter safe from abuse.  This may be an erotic film first, but Mendoza was still able to get his social realism in.
