Seeking to offer diversity in Philippine , Cinema One Originals treats moviegoers to a different kind of date movie when the digital film, Rome and Juliet opens on February 14 at the IndieSine Theater of Robinsons Galleria Movieworld.
Starring Mylene Dizon and Andrea del Rosario as straight women who plunge into unconventional affairs, this indie gem directed by Connie Macatuno revolves around the idea "Love knows no rules." It traces the unpredictable romantic journey of two women and confronts issues concerning taboo affairs and sexual norms.
When Juliet (del Rosario), a conservative pre-school teacher hires Rome (Dizon), a liberated wedding planner for her nuptials, they become close and develop a romance that becomes a huge scandal after the groom (Rosell) and their families discover their affair. Not long after, Juliet is driven away by her parents and becomes victim of an accident that puts her in a coma. Together, Rome and Juliet face and withstand the trials that come with their unconventional relationship.
During the 2006 Cinema One Originals Digital Movie Festivals last November, Rome & Juliet brought home the important awards such as Best Production Design for Gerry Santos’ wonderful and realistic setting and the Best Actress Award for Mylene Dizon. The film was also selected to have an exhibition at the New York International Independent Film and Video Festival for this year. It received excellent reviews from the selection panel because of its very good image quality, solid story and believable performances. NYIIFVF Executive Director Stuart Alson has already placed Rome & Juliet to be screened this July 2007 in New York, U.S.A.
Rome and Juliet also stars Rafaell Rosell, Miko Palanca, Lui Villaruz, Joshua Deocareza, Glydel Mercado, CJ Mercado and Tessie Tomas.
Embrace diverse realities. Open your mind. Believe that love knows no restrictions and watch Rome and Juliet opening this Valentine’s Day exclusively in Robinsons Galleria IndieSine Theater!
