Following what happened in the US during the last decade or so, the quality of Asian dramas has skyrocketed during the last few years, with a significant surge of talent from cinema towards streaming platforms, with Korea definitely paving the way in the regard, and Japan following. The result is quite impressive to watch, since, frequently, the level of these titles is equal to the one of movies.
Without further ado, here are 20 Asian dramas in random order proving the fact in the most eloquent fashion.
1. Cigarette Girl by Kamila Andini
“Cigarette Girl” is not a typical story of two broken hearts crushed by unfortunate circumstances, a trope over-used in the soap opera format. It also has a bit of history to offer alongside a basic insight into the women's hardships in Indonesia not such long time ago. “Your duty is to clean the house and find yourself a husband...

Competing for the Golden Lion at the 69th Venice International Film Festival, “Thy Womb” eventually won three special prizes by other Italian film groups, while taking up Metro Manila Film Festival by storm with 7 awards, among a number of others from festivals all over the world.
After a rather shockingly realistic birth scene, we are introduced to the two protagonists, Shaleha, a middle aged Tausug woman who works as a midwife for the small Muslim community, she and her husband, fisherman Bangas-An inhabit. Soon we learn the irony in her life, as, despite constantly delivering babies, she cannot have children herself, a point of friction in the otherwise calm life she shares with her husband. In an act of rather altruistic love she decides to be the one to search for a new wife for Bangas-An, who will eventually give him the child he so much longs for. The rest...

Nora Aunor is one of the most recognizable figures of Filipino cinema, with a career that started in the 60s and continues until today, which has netted her innumerable awards and a recognition as Philippine National Artist for Film and Broadcast Arts. Adolfo “Borinanga” Alix Jr has cooperated with her in the past before, on films like “Padre de Pamilya,” “Whistleblower,” and “Kinabukasan” (short) but this time, he decided to have her as a villain, although she is always the heroine in her films. “His effort has already netted him the Netpac award at Hanoi International Film Festival.

About the Film
“Kontra Madiaga” seems like a kind of mantra, reminiscent of a religious cult, which at the same time has a threatening side, but also something old and therefore self-evident. The leading role is played by the Philippine veteran actor Bembol Roco, who ties in with two of his early roles, both with a similar name. During his long collaboration with director Lino Brocka, Roco first appeared 1975 in “Manila in the Claws of Light” (“Maynila, sa mga Kuko ng Liwanag”) as Julio Madiaga and in 1989, in the last film the director and actor realized together, as “Commander Kontra” in “Orapronobis” (aka “Les Insoumis” aka “Fight For Us”). Both characters are driven by their wish and need to take revenge.

In a short video of about 1.5 minutes, the audience is confronted with a male figure who is obviously driven by anger and has a mission. Khavn conceives his short film “Kontra Madiaga” as a kind of application video. The main character introduces himself as Kontra Madiaga, he comes from the darkest depths of Manila, condemned to murder people for all eternity.
Khavn fades in the text on black boards like in a silent movie, it seems to be typewritten. The text fragments are also combined as in a blackmail letter, slightly oblique to each other. This gives the film a somewhat old-fashioned touch, a retro aesthetic, which is also evident in the images of Kontra Madiaga in action. Khavn refrains from using special effects and concentrates on simple means, which give the video the style of a documentary film and thus make it especially impressive. The decision to only hint...

In the unique cinematic universe of Khavn, one of the few standards one can pinpoint is the music video aesthetics, as a number of his films function as a collage of his extreme ideas through the combination of music and editing. In the case of “Manila in the Fangs of Darkness” however, even this element is pushed to the background as the film functions as a tribute to the iconic Lino Brocka masterpiece “Manila in the Claws of Light” and its protagonist, Bembol Roco, but at the same time, also as a video essay that analyzes the film, in the form of another film. Confused? Get used to that feeling, because confusion is another of Khavn’s trademarks.
From the opening titles, the tribute-like nature of the film becomes quite evident, with a sense of retro permeating the screen, along with Khavn’s extreme sense of humor,...

Considered by many as one of the greatest films of Filipino cinema, and one of the few from the country that is consistently placed among the world’s top films of all time, “Manila in the Claws of Light” is a definite masterpiece, a movie that presents the reality of the city during the 70’s in the most realistic fashion, without, though, neglecting its aesthetics and the entertainment it offers, even for a frame.
“Manila in the Claws of Light” is screening at Across Asia Film Festival
The story is based on the novel “In the Claws of Brightness” by Edgardo M. Reyes, and focuses on Julio Madiaga, a country bumpkin who arrives in Manila from Marinduque island.

Note: 'Thy Womb' is the Philippines' hopeful entry for the Golden Globe Nomination for Best Foreign Language Film. U.S. : None Yet. International Sales Agent: Solar Entertainment Corporation
Giving birth to a child is a defining moment in every woman’s life. It represents the fulfillment of a biological purpose. It is also the promise of hope in a new being. Each society across the globe infuses the miracle of motherhood with its own particularities, but there is a unanimous appreciation and respect towards mothers as symbols of prosperity and keepers of a continuous cycle of life. Ironically in Brillante Mendoza’s film Thy Womb, the protagonist, a midwife unable to bear a child for her husband, decides to find him a fit woman to deliver him an heir. With immersive filmmaking and a breathtaking setting, this slice of life feature transcends mere ethnography to bring to the screen an augmented and visceral vision of reality.
Few words are ever spoken by Shaleha (Nora Aunor ), but her expressive eyes convey a religious peace and a love that knows no boundaries. Knowing that her partner Bangas-An (Bembol Roco) is reluctant to adopt a child and aware that her infertility won’t let her satisfy that necessity, she takes matters into her own hands. What she needs is simply a surrogate mother, someone who can provide him with such joy. Nonetheless, in this Bajau Muslim island community there are rules to abide by, and finding a mother for her husband’s child essentially means searching for a new wife. Lacking any sort of jealousy or selfishness Shaleha’s unconditional love motivates her to help him find the right young lady. Not only must they obtain permission from the woman’s family but they are required to raise a sizable amount of money and goods as dowry. Together they sell fish, trade, borrow and scrap as much as they can until they are able to afford Bangas-An's new wife.
Rendered to help others become mothers but never getting that opportunity herself, Shaleha is a character fueled by faith and not tormented by the poising nature of human desire. Played by acclaimed actress Nora Aunor, she carries the film through its many passages and depictions of the Bajau’s lifestyle. Nurturing and assertive she is indeed a woman more than capable of caring for a child, but the cards she has been dealt require her to act with selflessness. Naturalistic and minimal her performance resonates even in the silent and humble poetry that permeate the images.
Relying upon a basic storyline, the magic of the film lies in its design. Form is more relevant here than any twist and turns in the plot. Arranged with an eclectic cinematic grammar, the director incorporates aerial shots of the sea gypsy community combined with underwater sequences, slow motion observational shots, and seemingly traditional filmmaking that are always in motion, never static. The camera is alive, it moves around this world with grace. It is also completely conspicuous making the viewer aware of its presence. Mendoza places his characters in the real world and films them, which creates a sort of raw fiction that is neither entirely scripted or fully documentarian. Still, for all the experimental elements he includes, Mendoza made a film about tradition that simultaneously inspires a sense of discovery. Via its postcard-worthy landscapes and all-consuming spirituality, Thy Womb is a film that revels in its apparent simplicity, which makes for a compelling and revelatory piece. It lets outsiders intrude into a place undamaged by modernity and functioning in harmony despite being surrounded by external turmoil.

Here I am at the Toronto International Film Festival for the first time, searching for where I fit in as both a spectator and a writer. In addition to being a third wheel of sorts representing this publication, as Daniel Kasman and Fernando C. Croce have revived their lovely “Correspondences” series that debuted at last year’s edition, I am also navigating the massive programming without the privilege of accreditation. I find myself in a not so unfamiliar position, purchasing tickets, budgeting my schedule instead of merely assembling it; after all, it was only just over a year ago that I was accredited at a festival for the first time. So, as I said, I’m searching, for an angle (and tickets!).
What follows is a reworking of the “Impressions” format I used at the Berlinale earlier this year, which allows me to share brief snapshots of initial reactions to the films,...

Thy Womb opens with a woman giving birth. Shaleha (Nora Aunor), a midwife, accompanied by her husband Bangas-an (Bembol Roco), assists the soon-to-be-mother in delivering her child. Shaleha then routinely requests for the baby's umbilical cord. She brings the keepsake from the afternoon home, hangs it alongside all the other cords she has collected from the many mothers she helped. The hanging cords in her home are ostensibly a record of her noble profession. Ironically, it also serves as a painful reminder of the one nagging imperfection of her marriage with her husband, which is her inability to bear children for him. Nature has fated her with infertility. However, her culture has given her the opportunity to remedy it. By finding another suitable wife for...

Womb Doom: Mendoza Gives Us Another Poverty Stricken Filipino Narrative
Quickly assuming the stature of one of the most important directors from the Philippines, Brillante Mendoza churns out another macabre narrative of the hard knock lives from his native land with the effective Thy Womb. Working at break neck speed and putting out several shorts and a title or two a year, he’s earned a prolific reputation after a 2009 Cannes win for Best Director for the infamous Kinatay, and then followed that up with a starring role for the one and only Isabelle Huppert. But he switches gears a bit for this latest story, leaving behind a violence that dictates the narrative arc to tell a meditatively tragic tale, one which simmers gracefully to its abrupt finale.

Adolfo Alix, Jr.'s Isda (Fable of the Fish) appears to be just another movie set in the overexploited slums of Manila. Lina (Cherry Pie Picache) and Miguel (Bembol Roco), a childless couple despite several years of being married who have just relocated from the province to the city to change their fate, arrive at the slums just in time to witness an unsurprising altercation between a slum dweller and the police, which is expectedly spiced by rowdy and overly involved onlookers. Unstirred by the unexpected but commonplace boisterous welcome of their new home, the couple settle in. Miguel finds a job in the nearby ice plant. Lina stays at home, taking care of the children of her neighbors if she's not helping her husband...
