Startling in his originality and ambition, director Garin Nugroho interprets “The Abduction of Sita” from the Hindu epic The Ramayana as a musical requiem for the victims of violence and natural disaster. The opulent cinematography of the lush forests and beaches of Java is topped only by the impracticable, acrobatic choreography in this tale of a vengeful potter who takes action against the suitor of his unfaithful wife. 2006, Indonesia, in Bahasa Indonesian with English subtitles, 120 minutes.
