Actors Christopher de Leon, Sandy Andolong, Jay Ilagan and Charo Santos starred as main cast in the film, while Johnny Delgado and APO Hiking Society’s Boboy Garovillo portrayed as main villains.

Foursome lovers Johnny (Christopher De Leon) and his flame, the flight steward Melanie (Charo Santos), and Johnny’s friend Nonong (Jay Ilagan) and his sweetheart Nancy (Sandy Andolong), unwittingly get involved with warring Japanese and Chinese drug syndicates . Embroiled in the fracas, the two pairs of lovers uncover a plot by the syndicate that baffles them all.

The post Marilou Diaz-Abaya – Brutal (1980) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

KONTROBERSYAL is one of the classic masterpieces of acclaimed stage and film director, Lino Brocka, in the historical period of the 80’s. A story set in the glitter and glamour of showbiz world. Behind the bright lights, fabulous costumes and larger-than-life sets, real lives are broken and shattered for the hunger for fame and the thirst for money. Karina Daluz (played by Gina Alajar) was blinded by the ill promise of success offered by her producer Mers Madsen (played by Charo Santos). Her walk toward the path to stardom entailed her sanity and corrupted her soul. Her innocence was replaced by wickedness and her once good-natured self, has become the demon that she feared. No love that is forever, no hope to discover for all the people living in KONTROBERSYAL.

The post Lav Diaz – Ang babaeng humayo AKA The Woman Who Left (2016) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Plot: Retired policeman holds a woman and daughter in a claustrophobic grip with his dictatorial behaviour. His son-in-law resists and the result is a confrontation. A gruesome monster in his familiarity: it could be your next-door neighbour.

IFFR Statement from Noel Vera: With In Just the Wink of an Eye, De Leon created his masterwork, about a retired police sergeant (Vic Silayan) with an unnatural stranglehold over his wife (Charito Solis) and daughter (Charo Santos). His claustrophobically enclosed world is threatened when Santos finds herself pregnant, and forced to marry a young man (Jay Ilagan). Silayan attempts to extend his influence over his son-in-law, who resists; there is a confrontation… De Leon tells a horror story, at the heart of which is a creature all the more terrifying because he’s so familiar – a garrulous, unshaven old man with a huge belly and a hidden .45-calibre handgun. He could be someone you know; he could be your next-door neighbour. Along with this feeling of everyday ordinariness, there is a sense of utter conviction that De Leon brings to the material, to the conflict between domineering father and passive son-in-law. It’s as if De Leon knows these characters well – identifies with them intensely. The film is unsettling in the way it seems so close (because of the intensity) to the filmmaker, while being at the same time so close (because of the realism) to us. As if the gap between our world and De Leon’s more forbidding one is as little as, well, the wink of an eye…
