Marlina the Murderer in Four Acts

Streaming video - 2017

In the deserted hills of an Indonesian island, Marlina, a young widow, is attacked and robbed of all her livestock by a gang of seven bandits. She then defends herself, setting out on a journey to find justice, empowerment, retribution and redemption. But the road is long, especially when she begins to be haunted by the ghost of her victim. A stunning Scope western set to a Morricone-inspired score, this unique tale of female cinematic revenge takes no prisoners. Selected as Indonesia's Official Entry for Best Foreign Language Film at the **Academy Awards.** Nominated for a Queer Palm at the **Cannes Film Festival.** *"...recalls the oaters of Sergio Leone and his brethren... but it upends the usual male concerns for some serious ...and satisfying feminist playback." - Peter Howell, **Toronto Star*** more
