Perfumed Nightmare / Mababangong bangungot / Philippines / 1977
Kidlat Tahimik’s bizarre, faux-naïve film follows the filmmaker’s journey from Balian to Paris and back. Tahimik portrays himself as a hayseed enamored of American progress and technological ingenuity (he’s president and founder of the Werner von Braun Fan Club) whose dreams of flying in an airplane are realized by the appearance of an American gumball-machine magnate in his village.
The film is charmingly low-budget and inventive, contrasting with the types of popular, mainstream films that came out of the Philippines following Marcos’ reign. And the film’s tone is ironic in the extreme, playing off Tahimik’s ingenuous, bumpkin-like image.
