The Carousel Never Stops Turning is a fascinating dive into modern Indonesia, woven together through a series of disjointed yet interconnected vignettes. It’s got this gritty realism that pulls you in, showcasing the country's complex landscape—economically and politically. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing the viewer to absorb the nuances of society and culture, which is refreshing. Ismail Basbeth’s direction captures the essence of these fragments with a mix of tension and introspection, reflecting the struggle and resilience of everyday life. Performances are raw, adding to this layered atmosphere that feels both personal and universal. There's a distinct visual style here too, employing practical effects that enhance the storytelling without overwhelming it. Definitely a film that lingers in your mind after viewing.
