Written on September 29, 2025
Pasir Berbisik offers a compelling narrative set against the harsh beauty of a desert landscape, showcasing strong performances and remarkable production dedication. The film subtly critiques patriarchal structures through the struggles of its female characters, supported by artistic dialogue and naturalistic acting, especially from a young Dian Sastrowardoyo. Overall, it’s a visually poetic and thematically rich film that blends social commentary with cinematic elegance.
