From the October 7, 2007 issue of Cahiers du Cinema; article entitled 'The Filipino Angle' by Emmanuel Burdeau (translated by Tom Mes):
Let’s pick up where we left off: Auraeus Solito’s Philippine Science, we wrote yesterday, is a beautiful film, simple and sophisticated, direct and campy, one that gets better and better as it goes along. From the evidence gathered, the praise is valid for Filipino cinema as a whole, which is undergoing something of a renaissance.
The article goes on to mention other Filipino filmmakers like Raya Martin, Brillante Mendoza, and Lav Diaz.
