Pierre Rissient's 'Cinq et la peau' Gets DVD Release by Carlotta Films

publication · 2026-04-24

Carlotta Films releases 'Cinq et la peau', the second feature film by Pierre Rissient, a pioneering cinephile who discovered auteurs like Jerry Schatzberg, King Hu, and Lino Brocka. The film stars Féodor Atkine as Ivan, a writer returning to Manila to wander the megacity in search of his past and meaning. Rissient masterfully blends his passions for classic Hollywood cinema, jazz, poetry, and Manila, creating a unique and magnetically powerful work that has achieved near-mythical art object status. Available in a limited prestige edition and single DVD, the film is currently in theaters and can be ordered via Carlotta Films' website.
