Kabut Berduri

"I don't understand why this film received such a poor rating. This is the first film that I find very realistic. It portrays the actual conditions of the Indonesia-Malaysia border region, where the culture and social dynamics are the same but the countries are different, depicted very well.

This is the work of the genius anthropologist Dave Lumenta, which describes the conditions at the end of the New Order era in Indonesia. Perhaps viewers or outsiders' expectations might not grasp this and assume it is merely fantasy."

"I have never seen an Indonesian film that is truly bold in presenting a very sensitive story, such as the Dayak tribal customs, communism, and mysticism, all within a single narrative."
