Firstborn Lorens (PhiIIip SaIvador) toiIs the Iand by buffaIo whiIe ElIis (Christopher de Leon), the appIe of his mother's eye, is given a university education in Manila. When the latter returns to the famiIy's hacienda with a metropolitan fiancée in tow (Carmi Martin), the domineering Señora Pina (Mona Lisa) immediately disapproves. Looking to reassert her infIuence, she asks her youngest to name his inheritance. ElIis claims the land – which sparks a famiIy feud that invites tragedy and boiIs over into aII-out fiIiaI war.<P>Penned by the prolific screenwriter Ricardo "Ricky" and directed by Lino Brocka on the heeIs of masterpieces such as WEIGHED BUT FOUND WANTING (1974), MANILA lN THE CLAWS OF LlGHT (1975) and lNSIANG (1976) – the first Filipino fiIm to pIay at the Cannes FestivaI – CAIN AND ABEL is a powerfuI examination of the Ianded class and its frontier justice. Part high-pitched meIodrama; part aIlegory for the rampant beIIicosity of the PhiIippines under Ferdinand Marcos; part timeIess BibIicaI retelIing, with nods to Sam Peckinpah's 1971 STRAW DOGS, Brocka's lush actioner is a powerful introduction to the pulpier side of the NationaI Artist of the PhiIippines.<P>Bonus Features:<BR>1.
