Service

From acclaimed Filipino director Brillante Mendoza, Service (Serbis) follows the Pineda family, who live in and operate a run-down movie house in the provincial city of Angeles. As they go about their daily lives (a matriarch pursuing a bigamy case against her husband, a daughter in love, a nephew nursing a painful secret), we get a glimpse of how the family suffers and copes with one another's sins. Preoccupied with their own personal demons, they are largely unaware that inside their crumbling theater a different kind of commerce is taking place between the young men who work the aisles and the patrons who come for more than the double feature. A selection in competition at the Cannes Film Festival, Service is an immersive, unflinching portrait of a family and a building both falling apart. With Gina Pareño, Jaclyn Jose, and Coco Martin.
