Some Nights I Feel Like Walking
Southeast Asian Premiere
Petersen Vargas Philippines, Singapore, Italy 2024 103 min R21 (Homosexual Content)
A long night of camaraderie, chance and cruising in this oneiric celebration of queer belonging.
In a corner of Manila, the nights are sleepless while desire hangs in the air. Twinky street hustler Uno wanders the streets with his found family of misfits, who look out for each other and make a quick buck when they can. When they get entangled with a doe-eyed runaway with an enigmatic background, and one of them reveals a dying wish, the night unfolds in equal parts pain and passion.
With a kinetic camera that glides across grimy, intimate spaces, the film draws us into a prolonged hypnosis. A boundless cinematic imagination keeps the fever dream going. But this tender take on queer belonging also yearns for the world in its vulnerability, leaning towards those who remain hurt while hoping cautiously.
