One of several great posters for Indonesian movie Pintu Terlarang (The Forbidden Door) via Subway Cinema’s 2009 Asian Film Festival:
“THE FORBIDDEN DOOR (Indonesia, 2009, Joko Anwar) – the director of last year’s festival favorite, KALA, is back and boy is this one twisted. Like a 19th century gothic novel adapted by Alfred Hitchcock and directed by David Lynch, this movie about a sculptor and the horrible things he does to become successful is one of the sickest, slickest, kinkiest movies we’ve ever screened. Graceful, gliding, with a Saul Bass-inspired opening credits sequence and a Bernard Herrmann-esque score we feel confident when we say you’ve never seen evil look quite so beautiful.”
