Share

August 14, 2021The film "Vengeance is mine, all others pay cash" by Indonesian director Edwin received the prestigious Golden Leopard at the Locarno Film Festival. It was assigned by the jury chaired by Eliza Hittman, (Filmmaker) with members Kevin Jerome Everson (Artist and filmmaker), Philippe Lacote (Director), Leonor Silveira (Actress), Isabella Ferrari (Actress). "Vengeance is mine, all others pay cash" is an unexpected manifesto against the culture of machismo in which a fighter who fears no one, defeated by an equally tough fighter, falls madly in love with it.
