The Dog Show is the true story of a man engaged in trick shows in the
streets of Manila. Sergio is trying to save enough money in order to
get back his youngest son from his rebellious wife, who suddenly leaves
him for good. He gets a lot of help from his children, especially his
27-year-old daughter Celia, who is inflicted with retardation. Celia
misses her mother so much that she spends hours using her manicure set,
alone in the bewitching stillness of the night among the abandoned open
tombs of the public cemetery where she keeps a closet for her mother’s
belongings. Sergio and his family live in a cemetery mausoleum.
Heartwarming and Charming! Mercedes Cabral once again
in this festival gave us a one of a kind performance as we've never seen
before. If you love dogs you'll definitely enjoy this film. Da Dog
Shows offers a colorful window into the real-life story behind a
compelling film. I loved the unique direction and very well written
script. There is just so much to love. The movie's voice is unlike any
you've heard in a while, it is totally fresh, in every sense of the
word. One of the Filipino films that must see in this year's World Premieres Film Festival.
My Verdict: 4/5
