MA – Cry of Silence

The Maw Naing | 2024 | Myanmar, South Korea, Singapore, France, Norway, Qatar

Narratively, the story is very simple, but the issues are big problems. The development of the characters is very good and the decision not to show rulers and male figures in this film is no less important. The editing use a slow pacing as a rhythm, but it fits well with the feeling of silence and long suffering of the characters. Likewise, the ambience and sound effects tend to be used to support the visualization of the power that always terrorizes them. The Filmmaker use the rented house and the factory as plot spaces to symbolize prison or cage for the main characters. Meanwhile, the bluish nuances of the cinematography give a cold and sinister atmosphere to the spaces. Their rights are confiscated in these places, but in a state of captivity they do not stop fighting. This problem is not much different when related to the Indonesian context, which still has the same problems.
