Synopsis

Adapted from a popular serialised novel by Edgardo M. Reyes, Brocka’s incendiary film follows Julio (Bembol Roco) who arrives in Manila in search of his girlfriend Ligaya (Hilda Koronel) and is quickly ensnared in the city’s destructive tendrils. Told with the docu-realist approach that was the director’s trademark, scenes of exploitation and social inequality are contrasted with highly stylised images of urban commercialism.

Made during an era of martial law, Brocka’s portrait of political upheaval and resistance under dictatorship was, very surprisingly, approved by the censors without cuts. Winner of nine Filipino Academy of Movie Arts and Sciences Awards.
