The Boatman - Director's - VHS

In this run-of-the-mill, sexually explicit film, Felipe (Ronnie Lazaro) is a young boatman who leaves for the big time in Manila to find his fortune but ends up working in the red-light district of the city as the male lead in sex plays called "toros." Playing opposite Felipe is Gigi (Sarsi Emmanuelle), and the two not only become lovers in real life, but also garner great success in their erotic shows and blue videos. In the meantime, Felipe has become the clandestine hired boy-toy of Emily (Suzanna Love), an American with a fairly nasty Filipino lover who is decidedly intolerant of bedroom competition. With this scenario in place, the future does not look very promising for the former boatman. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi
