The Dragon Who Walks on the Water

About This Movie

The Dragon Who Walks on the Water is this intriguing little documentary that really captures the essence of life on the fringes of Tangerang and Bogor. The film centers around Kang Sui Liong, the temple guard, and his family. It’s not your typical fast-paced doc; it has this slow, almost meditative rhythm that allows you to really soak in the atmosphere. The cinematography is quite stunning, and there’s a raw honesty in the way the family’s daily life unfolds. You see the mundane and the mystical intertwine, with the temple acting as a backdrop to their struggles and joys. It’s got this understated charm, a mix of intimate performances from the family and this palpable sense of place that makes it distinctive in its own right.
