Jose Javier Reyes' dramatic thunderbolt from Regal Films, "Bayarang Puso" which stars Aga Muhlach, Lorna Tolentino, and Carmina Villaroel is a movie about decadence and materialism set against a backdrop of the most recent leisure class craze, ballroom dancing. Although the film makes obviously wild pirouettes around this very interesting subject-dance instructors and their willing and able clientele and whatever relationships they have in between- it is in fact an intriguing drama about love, avarice, and betrayal.
