Ruby Tiong Tan, the film's producer, had to smuggle the film rolls out of the country just so this could be screened at Cannes. Eat shit, Imelda!

relief, maybe, but no happiness
The plot synopsis sells revenge; what it doesn't sell, however, are the devastating effects that it can inflict in oneself as a double-edged sword. Of course that we can trace revenge back to classic literature in the B.C. era, and it is an element that modern films, especially Asia, have restored with a focus of escapism and style, sometimes portraying violence as an art. Insiang doesn't. Insiang punches you in the face with descriptive neorealism and emotional violence, rather than with graphic violence, which is kept in a second layer.97/100
