“if I wasn't the best, I often chose to quit rather than push through... why do I crave excellence but struggle to put in the work to achieve it? I'm not blind to my own shortcomings. The truth is, I am lazy.”
Lino Brocka’s MAYNILA SA MGA KUKO NG LIWANAG marked a turning point in Philippine cinema. Released in 1975, we remember the film for its haunting portrait of a city that consumes its people and their dreams.
Today marks the 50th anniversary of its release.
