Country : Philippines
Directed by Lino Brocka
In a powerful social commentary, Lino Brocka depicts ,without to hesitate and rather boldly, the sad realities of Philippines. Huge gap between rich and poor, corruption, state's mechanisms that are serving those with power, hypocrisy, marginalization of the weak, social racism : the young and sensitive hero is difficult to breath in this inhuman and brutal provincial environment , so has to refuse his social background in order to keep his humanity. The movie is emotionally hard to watch : Brocka is raw and merciless in order to make us feel as viewers his desperation about social inequalities and injustice in his country. A masterpiece of Filipino cinema.
