184. Chants of lotus (2007)


Country: Indonesia
Directed by Upi Avianto, Nia di Nata, Lasja Fauzia, Fatimah Dony

A very brave omnibus film, directed by four female directors, unique in the Indonesian film production of recent years, that presents various social issues from the women's perspective as women are always much more exposed , often marginalized and victimized in the country's patriarchic society. Is not a surptise that it cencored heavily by the "cultural" autorities. The film is bold and dark , exposing a dim reality without sugaring the pill. If some hope comes out of the film it comes from the strength of its women characters who, more or less, find the power to stand against their exploiters and fight
