Twilight Dancers

In the tradition of Macho Dancer, Midnight Dancers, and Burlesk King, Twilight Dancers is a modern day story of a young man navigating the complex world of the Manila gay bar scene.  However, there is a secondary character that is bar itself which is suffering a slow death as the gay word is becoming more mainstream and less confined to the bars alone.

Dwight (Tyron Perez), our spotlight dancer, is a young man who was raised in an orphanage and entered the bar scene through the help of his friend Allen (Allen Dizon).  Both men are suffering the long terms effect of their work and long to be in living a more stable and traditional life away from the skin trade.

The film has a combination of sensuality and story.  The sensuality enhances the story and provided a much needed release of the pressure building up in the movie.  However, for the more sensitive viewers, the second to last scene goes far beyond it s predecessors.

This movie is a fine successor to its forefathers and worthy of the time watching it.
