Synopsis

Our take

A deliciously pulpy revenge story with a patriarchy-defying, machete-wielding protagonist, Marlina is a feminist genre film that’s guaranteed to surprise you! The Indonesian landscape is infused with the atmosphere of a western, as cinematic references merge with new inventions to stunning effect.
