Alunauwie
Biola Tak Berdawai offers a deeply moving and artistically rich narrative, elevated by original music, elegant cinematography, and a romantic, classic visual tone that lingers in memory. The performances are natural and heartfelt, with formal dialogue that enhances rather than stiffens the film's poetic atmosphere. While some metaphor-laden scenes—especially those involving Mbak Wid and her tarot-based analogies—may challenge viewers unfamiliar with the referenced stories, the film remains a beautifully crafted and emotionally resonant work worth experiencing.
