Description:Lino Brocka broke through to international acclaim with this candid portrait of 1970s Manila, the second film in the director's turn to more serious-minded filmmaking after building a career on mainstream films he described as soaps. A young fisherman from a provincial village arrives in the capital on a quest to track down his girlfriend, who was lured there with the promise of work and hasn't been heard from since. In the meantime, he takes a low-wage job at a construction site and witnesses life on the streets, where death strikes without warning, corruption and exploitation are commonplace, and protests hint at escalating civil unrest. Mixing visceral, documentary-like realism with the narrative focus of Hollywood noir and melodrama, Manila in the Claws of Light is a howl of anguish from one of the most celebrated figures in Philippine cinema.
"Manila In The Claws Of Light" on Blu-Ray from Criterion is a landmark of Philippine cinema, directed by the acclaimed Lino Brocka. This 1975 masterpiece follows Julio Madiaga, portrayed by Bembol Roco, as he navigates the harsh realities of Manila in search of his lost love. The film is celebrated for its raw depiction of urban life and social injustice, making it one of the most influential works in Southeast Asian film history. Director Lino Brocka was a leading figure in Filipino cinema, known for powerful films like "Insiang" and "Maynila sa mga Kuko ng Liwanag," both recognized at international festivals such as Cannes. Lead actor Bembol Roco has starred in numerous critically acclaimed films across decades, while Hilda Koronel (Ligaya Paraiso) won Best Actress at the FAMAS Awards for her role here and gained further fame with "Insiang." Criterion Collection is renowned worldwide for restoring and distributing significant classic and contemporary films with high-quality transfers and insightful extras that enrich viewers' appreciation.
