For decades of using ruqyah to help people, Ustadz Qodrat failed to ruqyah his son, Alif Al-Fatanah, possessed by a demon named Assuala. Looking for answers to his worries, Qodrat returns to the boarding school in the village where he studied. He finds the place is no longer what it used to be, with unexplained disturbances. Qodrat is again faced with the trauma of having to ruqyah Alif Amri, Yasmin's youngest child, whom he cannot refuse because of the similarity of his name to his late son. In a soul-crushing test, Qodrat again faces the fury of Assuala. Qodrat has to choose between obeying his anger or re-finding his faith.
这个被导演反复打磨的意象，像一枚尖锐的钢钉。当时在2018年的柏林电影节上，这头沉默的大象用四小时的影像悲鸣，导演用生命浇筑的绝望美学永远定格在电影史的天际线上。 这部浸透死亡意识的遗作，不仅仅是对加缪"真正严肃的哲学问题只有一个，自杀"的影像诠释，更是将中国县城青年的生存困境升华为存在主义困境的现代寓言。Copyright © 2020-2025 All Rights Reserved
