About This Movie

Komang, directed by Naya Anindita, is a contemplative exploration of love and destiny. Set against the backdrop of Indonesia's vibrant landscapes, it follows Ode, an ambitious young man from Buton, and Ade, a free-spirited wanderer from Bali. Their connection feels almost ethereal, but it’s complicated by the presence of another man in Ade's life, pulling at the threads of fate. The film has a slow, evocative pacing that allows the audience to immerse in their emotional struggles. The performances are genuine, capturing the nuances of longing and sacrifice. The cinematography beautifully contrasts the serene beauty of Bali with the bustling urgency of Jakarta, enhancing the characters' journeys. It’s these layers of emotional depth and cultural richness that set Komang apart.
