Cast

Production

edit

Toto Natividad served as a co-director on the film, while actress Ysabelle Peach served as assistant director.[1]

Actress Andi Eigenmann prepared for the titular role by training in mixed martial arts at the Ultimate Fitness gym in Pasig,[2] and admitted that she intentionally avoided watching the original 1980 film directed by Lino Brocka to avoid imitating Hilda Koronel's performance.[3]

The rape scene in the film was toned down in comparison to the 1980 film as the filmmakers intended for an R-13 rating from the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB).[4]

Release

edit

Angela Markado held its premiere at SM Megamall in Mandaluyong City on November 30, 2015, and was later released nationwide on December 2, 2015.[5]

Critical response

edit

Oggs Cruz, writing for Rappler, considered the film inferior to the original film directed by Lino Brocka, stating that Caparas' version "is vehemently shallow, a piece of pulp that refuses to be both profound and entertaining."[6]
