What Cain and Abel Is About
The film carries the story of the brothers in scripture into the present. The strong willed woman at the head of the family openly favours the younger of her two sons, while she keeps the elder at a distance because she holds him responsible for her husband’s death. The space between the two brothers turns into enmity over time, and the matter goes far beyond a quarrel over an inheritance. The account does not say who is in the right; it shows how the division the mother made has shaped them both. The film comes from the vein of Filipino cinema that tells social questions from inside the crime genre. Christopher de Leon and Phillip Salvador appear in Lino Brocka’s hundred and eleven minute Filipino film, completed in 1982.
