“Whatever may be the future of u0026#39;cinemau0026#39;, this film will endure for its gripping film creativeness and its intense presentation of a culture and deep humanity. This is a Bali of the centuries, millennia even, quite different from the tawdry consumption pit that many tourist Australians seek so shallowly. Writing and direction are simply sublime in creativity and extraordinarily polished in execution. One to see many times (as was the Singapore film u0026#39;A Yellow Birdu0026#39;). Voted Best Feature Fiction film at Adelaide Film festival 2018, Crystal Bear at Berlin. Apparently crowd- or subscriber-funded: well done, all. A nod to Doha Film Institute for its support of a truly major film achievement. See it in a dark cinema room, not on television.”
