Directed by Chito S. Rono
Cast: Vilma Santos, Christopher De Leon, Piolo Pascual, Marvin Augustin, Carlos Agassi, Danilo Barrios, John W Sace, Kris Aquino
Synopsis: An adaptation of Lualhati Bautista's prize-winning novel. Dekada 70 chronicles a middle-class Filipino family who, over the space of a decade, become aware of the political policies that have ultimately led to repression and a state of martial law. Vilma Santos stars as Amanda, who realizes the implications of living within a dictatorship after sorting out the contradictory reactions of her husband and five sons. Julian (Christopher De Leon), her husband, supports his eldest sonÂÂÂs efforts to rail against the government while simultaneously refusing to condone AmandaÂÂÂs wish to find a job. Her third son (Marvin Augustin) writes illegal political exposes. The fourth (Danilo Barrios) fell victim to a corrupt police department, and her youngest (John W. Sace) is still a boy. ~ Tracie Cooper, All Movie Guide
