Celebrating Kamila Andini!
"It’s important for me when I can see myself in a movie (even if it is a movie from a different country), when I see my society, problems I can relate to… Hollywood movies are like a dream, something unrealistic and distant, detached from reality. In Indonesia, we are not very confrontational people. We don’t put the conflict on a dining table and don’t talk about it. We hide our feelings. People of the East have a different way of talking about conflict."

Yuni (2021)
"Throughout, the film asks, what is Yuni willing to risk to have control over her life, and will the world she lives in let her get it?"

The Seen and the Unseen | Sekala Niskala (2017)
"The film's quiet pace, as well as its lack of dialogue, encourages total immersion in this magical universe.... The assimilation of the magical dimension of reality is not just about the protagonist. The film itself undergoes a certain metamorphosis following this new mystical revelation. It’s at this point that The Seen and Unseen becomes a wonderful succession of dream sequences that transports us from one universe to another."

The Mirror Never Lies | Laut Bercermin (2011)
"This immersive film from the Wakatobi islands in Indonesia is a fascinating snapshot of the lives of the Bajo tribe and a sweetly worked narrative about family and friendship that also offers powerful commentary about the state of our seas and our curation of them."

Before, Now & Then (Nana)
Ini baru karya superb dari Kamila Andini! Gak kayak si yuna yuni itu yang maksa mendesak segudang isu dalam satu toples. Nana membicarakan perempuan, ibu, dan pertanyaan tentang kemerdekaannya secara bersahaja gak pake ngotot.
Kebejatan patriarki diurai halus tapi pedihnya luar bisa. Tanah Sunda 60an dengan segala keotentikannya direkam aestetik bergaya sinema ala Wong Kar-wai. Alunan musiknya magis, memperkuat daya pikat kisah dari bagian novel Jais Darga Namaku yang juga sebuah penghormatan si Bandar Seni buat sang Ibu.
Mengulik trauma dalam situasi perang dan gejolak politik yang kejam, bercerita setulus ini justru semakin dalam menyentuh. Hangat sekaligus mengusik. Film ini harus jadi standar minimun dari Kamila Andini. Next level!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️½
