Ulan is an experience

Watching this as someone who enjoys extensive utilization of visual technique and subtle works of imagination, Ulan delivers a story for women to ask, appreciate, and love themselves.

The story is a reminiscent of that one afternoon when you are lost, so you look for shelters, you look for roofs to be under of to ease your longing of your own home, of your own self.

This point of view takes another point where Filipino culture is served through innocent storytelling.

Personally, it takes sincerity to produce an art piece without leaning on what people will say, rather you are on your own. Ulan did that.

An enchanting and loving tale

I was captivated by the use of magic realism and the constant flashbacks of young Maya and current day Maya. with a such a unique way of storytelling, both versions of Maya go through the emotions of finding and losing love. Ulan means 'Rain' in Tagalog and we certainly see rain during several important moments of Maya's life. The way they have used rain as a symbol throughout the movie pretty much tells a story of its' own.

The more you watch the movie, the more you root for Maya to find her tale of love, but as we all know - things may never go the way you want it to and the ending leaves you with much to ponder. But maybe she did find her inner peace through all the rain.
