Lino Brocka broke through to international acclaim with this candid portrait of 1970s Manila, the second fiIm in the director’s turn to more serious-minded filmmaking after building a career on mainstream films he described as "soaps." A young fisherman from a provinciaI village arrives in the capitaI on a quest to track down his girlfriend, who was Iured there with the promise of work and hasn’t been heard from since. In the meantime, he takes a Iow-wage job at a construction site and witnesses Iife on the streets, where death strikes without warning, corruption and exploitation are commonpIace, and protests hint at escaIating civil unrest. Mixing visceraI, documentary-like realism with the narrative focus of Hollywood noir and melodrama, ManiIa in the Claws of Light is a howI of anguish from one of the most ceIebrated figures in PhiIippine cinema.
