Banda, The Dark Forgotten Trail Audience Reviews

Stellead Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful
Bea Swanson This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
Jakoba True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
kristalamalia This is the best medium for a history lecture, ever.In a very visually-appealing and engaging way, this documentary movie takes the perspectives of historians and key people with first-hand experiences related to Banda Island (in the Moluccas) to tell a story about how the island had experienced glory, got through colonialism, became a site where respected figures and people from across Indonesia were exiled, resulting in probably (once) the most multi-cultural island in Indonesia. It also tells the current condition and hopes for Banda.Definitely a high-quality must-watch. Well done, Jay Subiyakto and team!
photo-762-52381 The documentary movie "Banda: The Dark Forgotten Trail" is visually stunning in parts but a narrative mess with disjointed clips telling several stories without a coherent structure. The director's visual self indulgence is unrestrained ("I let the six DoPs shoot any scenes they wanted") and this buries the narrative rhythm and suffocates any dramatic development of a story. A study of uncontrolled excess and style over substance.
