Weighed But Found Wanting

Weighed But Found Wanting (Filipino: Tinimbang Ka Ngunit Kulang; also known as Human Imperfections ) is a 1974 Filipino drama film directed by Lino Brocka and co-written by Mario O'Hara. Starring Christopher De Leon in his debut role, Hilda Koronel, Lolita Rodriguez, and Eddie Garcia, the story follows a disillusioned young man who forms an unusual friendship with the town's pariahs: a man with leprosy and a madwoman.
Produced by CineManila Corporation and distributed by Mever Films, the film was theatrically released on 30 May 1974. It is considered one of Brocka's most important films and won six awards, including Best Picture, at the 23rd FAMAS Awards in 1975. In 2026, the film was digitally restored and remastered, in cooperation with the Film Development Council of the Philippines, Carlotta Films, and Janus Films.
