A kaleidoscopic reimagining of an epic episode of the Ramayana, replete with ecological and economic reverberations, this extraordinary film inspired by Mozart’s final year gathers the greatest artists of a new generation of Classical Javanese dancers, gamelan musicians, and Indonesian visual installation artists. Recently shown at the Venice and London film festivals, this visionary opera-musical directed by Garin Nugroho has already been widely recognized as a landmark of 21st-century cinema.
