266. Bona (1980)

 

Country: Philippines

Directed by Lino Brocka


Bona is probably the last really great film of Lino Brocka and it combines everything that made me to love his cinema that much: the not exaggerative melodrama, the powerful silent scenes, the well balanced raw realism, the camera that goes down to the slums, the political way that his storytelling is connected with the realities of Filippino society, the redemption of the end when the victim takes at last a revenge.
