Edwin Calls for a Revival of Sensitivity With Locarno’s ‘Vengeance Is Mine, All Others Pay Cash’
Edwin, a festival darling whose films have been the trump card for Berlinale and Rotterdam, returns to the circuit with a new gem. “Vengeance Is Mine, All Others Pay Cash,” which just had its world premiere in Locarno’s International Competition, is a genre-bending portrayal of an angry impotent young man stuck in the middle of the macho Indonesian Eighties.As happened with many productions last year, the pandemic affected the film, which had to stop the shooting due to the lockdown.
