This, for me, is Anwar's best film. I can see arguments for Satan's Slaves 2 or Impetigore but for me, this was the one.
The imagery was terrifying, the pace was exhausting, the plot was organic but not easily guessed, and as ever, he lays out the most impressive sense of a place and a culture. It is the Indonesia? I wouldn't know. But filmically, it feels cohesively and convincingly like an Indonesia and that și what matters here.
Amazing.
