Country: The Philippines
Directed by Mario O'Hara
An important moment of the progressive Filipino cinema. O'Hara as always choose marginalized characters who try to survive in a brutal world and depicts the wrong doings of society without tp try to make the misery photogenic. In this movie the female jails ,where the often innocent prisoners are treated like animals and got exploited with any possible way , are exposed as they are, dark, dirty and claustrophobic , while the lives of the prisoners-victims are stripped out of glory and heroic dramatization. Bulaklak sa city jail is a movie with a lot of dialogues and unfortunately I watched it without subtitles. So, surely I missed a lot of things but even only from the images I could see the quality of the director's work and the power of his social comments
You can watch the movie here although are not subtitles and the quality of picture is very poor : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h4A_ZoHCkcM
