Lino Brocka’s social-realist and film noir treatment of 1970s Manila. “Seeing this film is to be burned by a flame that never goes out.” – Pierre Rissient
“[If] MANILA IN THE CLAWS OF LIGHT… stands as the director’s finest achievement (it is the film that Lav Diaz credits for jump-starting his own interest in cinema as an art form), this is in part because it so vividly and fully captures the emotional, physical (and thus political) tenor of the city.” – CinemaScope, Lawrence Garcia
