Red Diaries

Controversy hit this movie. No less than the chief of the national police protested the showing of this movie claiming one of the three episodes is a direct insult to the police organization. The protest, however, made this movie a blockbuster. Of course, viewers were attracted with this first-ever daring adult movie of then not-so-popular sweet teen star Assunta de Rossi who bared her upper extremities for a number of times while doing her hot sexual scenes with the men in the movie. This movie made her an instant star. The first episode deals about the story of a kerida (paramour) who engaged in an extra-curricular activity with her lover's driver (who is also the paramour of her lover's wife). The second story deals about an illicit relationship of a balik-bayan (one who returns to one's country after staying in a foreign land for years) with a seminarian. The third - and the most controversial - is about the martyr wife of an abusive police officer who let his colleagues used his wife. Indeed, this movie is one of the provocative films in the Philippines.

3 stories about women who seem to be so attractive that men go insane. Some might say men are insane anyway, but let's not get into that. Into that is something the characters are going ... really into it. There is no explicit intercourse, but you will see some nudity (breast to be exact).

The stories are overall decent (well not that kind of decent, because they are naughty). But they are also flawed ... as flawed as our main characters are. There are things happneing to them that make this not the happy go lucky movie you should expect. Drama baby? You can count on that.
