All collages and notes by Brainscan:
In Eva, Angeli Khang plays a housemaid in the home of a sexually omnivorous rich woman (the damn-near perfect Sab Aggabao). So we see Sab’s character doing another girl (Angelica Cervantes), a guy AND Angeli, in every conceivable combination. She is the original good-time-was-had-by-all.
Let me a vote for Sab as the current generation’s Filipina goddess. In years gone by, the exploitation movies of this country starred women who were natural and bountiful. But most women in movies and shows that have come out in the past few years have taken advantage of a booming plastic surgery industry. Not Sab. She goes with what comes naturally to her and the result is worthy of our deepest gratitude.
Sab’s performance in Eva is notable for what it reveals in a shower scene. You are hard-pressed to find a movie or show from the Philippines that gets an actress thoroughly nekkid; full frontal is simply not in the cards. Mostly. But there in Eva is Sab in the altogether, unblurred and unobstructed. If this is the beginning of a trend let’s count ourselves lucky.
