By her own admission, Mouly Surya was reluctant at first to direct Marlina The Murderer In Four Acts. She wasn’t interested in a film originally conceptualised by someone else, even if that person was award-winning director Garin Nugroho.

Garin came up with the story of a woman who beheads her rapist, then reports the rape to the police with the man’s head as evidence. But when Garin presented Mouly with the idea, she finally caved.
