Tagalog Movie

Ina, Kapatid, Anak tells the story of half-sisters competing for the love of men.

Emilia, played by Charito Solis, seeks the love that her father shows to more favored daughter, Pura, played by Lolita Rodriguez. Pura is after the attention of a man seduced by Emilia into marriage to spite her. Both women cannot admit their inability to control the love of men they long for. Their bitter rivalry escalates and despite their other accomplishments, they focus on the very frustrations they seem unable to live without. As a consequence, they grow cold and distant with one another, making their lives even more miserable.

Ina, Kapatid, Anak is a classic study in Filipino acting. It features two actresses employing two completely contrasting styles of developing the characters they portray. Charito Solis take on Emilia is the prime model of the melodramatic Filipino actor, using very threatrical and embellished technniques to give life to her character. On the other hand, Lolita Rodriguez's tackling of Pura is restrained and allows emotion to trickle through small but loaded mannerisms which is seldom seen in Philippine cinema. Complemented by an equally styles into a coherent and powerful film about women trying to find happiness within the feudal and patriarchal relations that have become their lives.

Directed by Lino Brocka.
