The film “Autobiography” directed by Indonesian director Maqbool Mubarak, will be released on September 16 (Saturday), and a poster visual and trailer have also been released.
The film is an allegorical depiction of modern and contemporary Indonesia, filled with violence and deception, and won the FIPRESCI Prize at the 79th Venice International Film Festival. At the 23rd TOKYO FILMeX, the film received rave reviews from jury president Rithy Pan and was highly acclaimed, winning the Best Film in Competition award.
This is the first feature-length film by Maqbool Mubarak, a film critic-turned-director.
A confident cinematic style with stunning direction.
Rithy Pan (Director of “The Vanishing Picture: The Truth about the Khmer Rouge” and President of the TOKYO FILMeX Jury) Comments
The film depicts how an individual’s quest for resistance against a giant web gradually transforms into the disturbing evil of the power structure.
