Country: Philippines
Directed by Lino Brocka
Probably the most famous and quoted Filipino movie even made, even with its weak sides ,Manila at the claws of light is a real masterpiece! Lino Brocka, made it in the years of Marcos dictatorship but, somehow, he managed to throw a lot of social and political elements in that heart breaking melodrama that is directed almost as to be a documentary. While you are watching it , Manila is appeared almost naked in front of your eyes: dirty, ugly, wild, indifferent for the human drama. The end of the movie has so much force that is almost unbearable to watch
You can watch the full movie here , but in bad analysis and without English subtitles : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ce6r64fqX0g
