In those circles traveled by fans and collectors of anything home video, few things are more hallowed than The Criterion Collection’s first volume of their World Cinema Project DVD/Blu-ray series. One of the company’s most lauded and adored releases in recent memory, Volume 1 of Martin Scorsese’s World Cinema Project included six new restorations of six legendary films spanning the history of world cinema. From a foundational work in African cinema to a tale of sexual obsession that changed the history of Korean filmmaking, the first in this series has become one of the most important and exciting releases in recent Criterion Collection memory.
And finally, they’re back for a second round.
Again bringing to light six superlative films from across the world, “No. 2” as it’s billed on their website features a treasure trove of world cinema that in many ways rivals if not exceeds its predecessor.

After four years Martin Scorsese is back with another six filmic gems from all corners of the Earth. Love struggles in the slums of Thailand and the economic boom town of Taipei; underdog heroes undertake troubled missions in Turkey and Kazakhstan, a Malay storyteller plays cinematic games with basic narrative, and a vintage Brazilian art film is pure visual poetry. They’ve all been rescued by the World Cinema Project.

If, within art cinema, there comes the instant gravitation to less the film than the name — the all-powerful auteur that supposedly doesn’t have to bow down to corporate masters — then even with a film as immediately striking as 1976’s Insiang, we begin with its author, Lino Brocka. Even in a life cut tragically short, he left enough of a mark to still be considered the Philippines’ greatest filmmaker, amongst his laurels being the nation’s first director to play in competition at Cannes. A particular association made with him was an outspoken criticism of the Philippines’ dictator-in-chief, Ferdinand Marcos.
But carrying that expectation over to Insiang, even without one mention of Marcos’ name throughout the film, the presence of both a fundamentally rotten authority and people left to fend for themselves in poverty leans a viewer, even the uninformed, towards assuming a greater institutional critique. Yet to quickly sum...

NEW YORK -- A critical success and huge commercial hit in its native Philippines, this debut feature from Mark Meily chronicles the misadventures of its title characters, a trio of women who serve as designated mourners for Manila's Chinese community. A soap opera-style melodrama tinged with elements of dark comedy, "Crying Ladies" is playing in a number of U.S. cities, including New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego and Honolulu.
The trio in question are Stella (played by Philippine superstar actress-singer Sharon Cuneta), a divorcee and petty thief just out of prison who is desperate to earn enough money to regain custody of her young son; Aling (Hilda Koronel), a former B-movie actress desperately reliving her better career days as the star of epics like "Darna and the Giants"; and young Cholent (Angel Aquino), whose strong religious convictions don't prevent her from engaging in an affair with her best friend's husband.
In order to make money, the women take advantage of Filipino-Chinese tradition, in which women are hired as professional weepers at funerals, to convince the observing gods that the deceased were truly good and worthy of entry into heaven.
That sociological element is the most interesting aspect of the film, which won six awards, including best picture, at the recent Metro Manila Film Festival. Otherwise, it depicts the complicated personal travails of its leading characters in overlong and pedestrian fashion. "Crying Ladies" is best appreciated for the winning performances of its trio of stars, who convey their characters' desperation with humor and poignancy.
