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