Keka told him that she’s working in a call center. When Keka and Marco Torres (Bobby Andrews) were having a date dinner, Marco asked what Keka’s job is.This is my attempt to explain the greatness of Keka. This is also a potshot to some issues on a nationwide scope.Īllow me to list some of the gibes presented in the film and do my best to offer an explanation or an example to explain its humorous aspect. Just like the Altman movie, this is a dark comedy - a satire with lots of jeers and jabs directed to our current local film industry which is filled with rehashed ideas and tiresome jokes.
#KATYA SANTOS KEKA FULL MOVIE MOVIE#
The revenge subplot is just a device for the movie like the murder in Robert Altman’s The Player. Offering a plot summary to Keka is not appropriate. Keka was made and released for public consumption and gave the few who chose to watch their money’s worth. Are they just milking the cow from the then-popularity of Katya Santos? Whatever their motives were during the time, it doesn’t matter now.
It’s also a miracle that a movie outfit such as Viva Films (which is also responsible for a slew of the aforementioned bold movies) willingly produced and financed this kind of film which, more often than not, do not perform well financially. It’s a blasphemy that a film like Keka would succumb to other box office heavyweights who offer nothing but star quality and a massive promotional campaign (which Keka sorely needed). Looking at the film from these perspectives is a disservice to its ingenuity and novelty. Or are we Filipinos that dumb to not appreciate this kind of film? I’m leaning towards the former because I still have high hopes for the Filipino audience. This may be the reason why the film flopped commercially because people expect this to be just another run-on-the-mill sex film. Others would see this as another bold film because its lead star is Katya Santos who forged an invisible alliance with other voluptuous, scantily-clad women such as Maui Taylor, Maricar de Mesa and Aubrey Miles to resurrect the R-rated bold films that populated the 90s film landscape. There are slitting of throats, stabbing of knives to a victim’s chest, strangulation and gunshots. This is described as a revenge flick for the death of a girl’s special someone. If one would set his expectations based on the posted synopsis on various websites attempting to offer a gist for Quark Henares’s Keka, such person would be sorely disappointed after watching this film.
