STRAY CATS (PUSANG GALA) is a an odd but in the end endearing mixture of cinematic styles, soap opera drama, tender little comedy, and hefty measures of relationship philosophy: perhaps this is the Filipino brand of magical realism. Based on a play by Jun Lana and adapted for the screen by Rody Vera and writer/director Ellen Ongkeko-Marfil, the movie boasts a fine little cast and it is the cast's commitment to the project that sets the film sailing.
Boyet (Ricky Davao), a mother-like gay man who takes in stray cats (including the human form), lives in an apartment complex: his next door neighbor is Martha (Irma Adlawan), a successful business woman whose evenings are usually spent alone pining for her often absentee boyfriend of five years, Steve (Reggie Curley). Martha and Boyet are close friends, to the point that Boyet's writing career is focused on the love tangles of Martha as well as his own absentee lover situation with the manipulative Dom (Lauren Novero). Boyet has a live-in 'son', JoJo (Alcris Galura), a lad whose street life as an abandoned boy has stuck the heart of the mothering Boyet. The story bounces between Boyet's and Martha's fantasies about their boyfriends' commitment problems, and while each of the two character's love lives are well defined (both straight and gay and in between!), the method of the story telling makes dissecting fact from fantasy a bit of a challenge. The ending of the film contains a twist that will surprise audiences who expect a light fluffy comedy.
The film takes place in the Philippines and is in a mixture of Tagalog and English. While the story has some holes and problems, the cast is energetic and committed and the result is a fairly entertaining, if somewhat rough, little diversion. Grady Harp
剧情介绍翻译：QAF中文站ziggy19）：
迷途的猫(釜山狂欢)是部奇特的影片,但是片中的电影风格,肥皂剧,小喜剧和沉重的恋爱哲学的混合令人喜爱,也是这就是菲律宾独有的神奇现实主义.由 Rody Vera和Ellen Ongkeko-Marfil改编自Jun Lana的舞台剧,影片对主要演员们称赞有佳,更因为演员们对这部制作的投入使得影片发展顺利.
Boyet(Ricky Davao饰演),一个充满母爱的男同志经常收留流浪猫(包括迷途流浪的人),住在一套复合公寓里.他的邻居Martha(Irma Adlawan饰演)是一个职业女性,但经常在夜晚独守空房等待交往了5年的男友Steve (Reggie Curley饰演).Martha和Boyet是很亲密的朋友,以至于Boyet的写作都集中在Martha混乱的感情世界上,而且也包括他自己与不常出现的控制狂男友Dom (Lauren Novero饰演)的恋爱关系.Boyet有一个同居"儿子",JoJo (Alcris Galura饰演),一个曾经被遗弃街头的少年.整个故事穿插着Boyet和Martha对于他俩的男朋友们不敢对自己承诺的幻想.而当其中一个角色的爱情生活得到详尽的说明之后(异性恋的,同性恋的和两者之间的),故事的叙述方法使得分清现实和幻想有点困难.影片的结尾有一个反转,可以使得本来以为这是一部轻松戏剧的观众大吃一惊.
影片拍摄于菲律宾,其中包括塔加路语和英语.当故事有一些漏洞和问题的时候,演员的活力和投入使得影片相当有趣,但是也有一点粗糙和少许牵强.
