The verdict

There are not yet enough audience votes to give this a reliable score. It is not currently playing in Hong Kong cinemas. 119 minutes.

What it is about

In a town where pleasure equals being possessed by spiritual beings, Bayu aspires to be the shaman of a trance party so he can fundraise enough money to prevent an impending eviction.

What to expect

In Bayu's town, getting possessed is the local nightlife. He wants the job of shaman at the trance party not for status, but because the money might keep a roof over everyone's heads. Wregas Bhanuteja's Indonesian drama runs a full 119 minutes and plays the supernatural for deadpan social stakes rather than scares — the spirits are real, but the eviction notice is the thing that haunts the movie. It screens as part of HKAFF, so expect festival-ticketing and limited dates. Indonesian with English subtitles.

What viewers said

THE MOST PERSONAL AND GROUNDBREAKING OF WREGAS’ WORKS. TRULY A MASTERPIECE. Man, this film is absolutely insane—in the best way possible. I felt completely satisfied, even with really high expectations going in. When I first read the synopsis, I honestly had no idea where the film was heading, but it still felt intriguing and incredibly exciting. It instantly became one of my most anticipated films. I still can’t wrap my head around how creative this film is in building its world. […]
