Indonesian filmmaker Mouly Surya, known for her groundbreaking work in female-led Asian genre cinema, is making waves with her upcoming projects. Following the success of 'Marlina the Murderer in Four Acts,' Surya is now venturing into bigger productions.
Her latest film, 'This City Is a Battlefield,' marks several firsts for Surya. It is her most ambitious project in Indonesia to date, her first book-to-film adaptation, her first history-based film, and her first with a male protagonist. Set in the post-WWII era, the narrative revolves around a mission to assassinate a Dutch official during a time of political turmoil in Indonesia.
