About Bomba Queen
Bomba Queen is loosely based on the story of Josephine "Yvonne" Samson one of the biggest bold stars of the 70s. Before she was Yvonne she was Rose, a provincial girl sold to one of the discreet brothels in Manila. Soon enough Rose was able to escape and make a name for herself as she became Yvonne, the bomba queen. Bomba Queen follows Rose through the successes and pitfalls of her newfound stardom and eventual descent back to poverty.
Directed by Efren C. Piñon, Bomba Queen leans on a strong ensemble — Sarsi Emmanuelle, Rita Gomez, Ronaldo Valdez — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 1985.
