Filum Presents: Manila in the Claws of Light 18

Lino Brocka, Phillipines, 1975, 125m.

Hailed as one of the greatest achievements in Filipino cinema, Manila in the Claws of Light sets a haunting love story against the searing tensions of 1970s Philippines under martial law, pairing unflinching compositions with starkly artful cinematography


A provincial man arrives in the heaving capital, Manila, in search of his lost love, only to become ensnared in the city’s corrupting, cacophonous chaos. Directed by visionary Filipino neorealist Lino Brocka, the film pulses with raw reality and humanistic depth.


Filum Film Club screens neglected cinema from all over the world.
