Coming-of-age narratives live or die based on the authenticity of their vision, especially those that take place in the not-so-distant past. Since the genre’s basic construct is ubiquitous, the devil always lies in the details. Time period, language, cultural and social artifacts; each of these factors help recreate a certain moment that may (or may not) inspire bouts of nostalgia in those viewers who lived through the era being depicted.
With its good-hearted nature, American pop music cues, and candy-colored vision of early 1990s Philippines, Death of Nintendo will undoubtedly appeal to anyone who grew up playing Super Mario Brothers and wearing Reebok Pumps. Written and produced by Valerie Castillo Martinez, Death of Nintendo merges both western and Filipino influences in its depiction of young love, jealousy, and rivalry. The overlap even produces tensions directly related to class and gender.

A little bit of the Berlinale is here at Hollywood News today, ladies and gentlemen. Yes, I’ve got a Berlin International Film Festival review to file. It’s for Death of Nintendo, a coming of age period piece, even if the period being discussed is the recent past, specifically the 90’s. Folks over in Berlin really enjoyed this one, and if the movie is handled properly, it could very well become a crossover success on the independent film scene later on this year. It has got the goods, that’s for sure. Foreign titles breaking through are always a crapshoot, but after Parasite making Oscar history, anything is possible, so hope springs eternal here for this effort from the Philippines. The movie is a coming of age tale, taking place in the 1990’s, and specifically in suburban Manila. Plot wise, it’s very reminiscent of any number of coming of age stories,...
