Awards and festivals
Film description
A brilliant thriller with a strong political message. Sari is a cinephile working in a beauty parlor, devouring new films every evening. Alek makes a living preparing subtitles for pirate DVDs. Their paths have to cross, but due to a series of unexpected events, the girl receives a film nobody should see. The romantic story about a geek relationship turns into a thrilling confrontation with a powerful structure, the emanation of authority.
Joko Anwar boldly uses of the techniques he established in his previous horrors and thrillers. Underneath the charming love story lurks the metaphor of sociopolitical situation in Indonesia. He portrays the back streets of Jakarta with a great sense of space, turning the city into one of the film's protagonists. “A Copy of My Mind” was a revelation of the Orizzonti section at last year's Venice IFF, and won the acclaim of festival audiences worldwide.
