About Cain and Abel
A modern-day version of the biblical legend of Cain and Abel, the strong-willed matriarch Señora Pina favors her younger son, Ellis, over the older Lorenzo, whom she blames for her husband's death.
Directed by Lino Brocka, Cain and Abel leans on a strong ensemble — Christopher de Leon, Phillip Salvador, Carmi Martin — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about crime titles of 1982.
