Material type:
TextPublisher: Metro Manila : Sony Music Entertainment, c2008Description: 1 videodisc (90 mins.)Summary: Adela, (Philippines' screen legend Anita Linda,) celebrates her 80th birthday. A former radio personality, she lives on her own dumpsite. She is surrounded by a sea of humanity and with it their problems, successes and trivialities. While going through her daily chores, Adela gets swept in the mundane and dramatic events of those around her. Adela is about the quiet moments in life that can fill us either joy or sorrow. In a stylistic break from today's characteristically energetic, fast-moving Filipino cinema, (Director) Alix trains his camera on veteran Filipino actress Linda in long takes, with profound and moving results. The film is a tribute both to the quiet dignity and indomitable spirit of its titular character, and to the actress whose compelling, poignant performance inflects every scene.
