About The Bells of San Jose
The film tells a story of large rural families suffering from economic insecurity in a remote part of the town of Magdalena, Laguna, where major life events are punctuated by the tollling of the church bells, and the coastal community of Dalahican, Quezon. Both places are homes of large families dealing with the reality of poverty.
Directed by Pablo Santiago, The Bells of San Jose leans on a strong ensemble — Zaldy Zshornack, Boots Anson-Roa, Rosanna Ortiz — 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 screen titles of 1974.
