Merantau
2009 · Director: Gareth Evans · ID
What it is about
A young Minangkabau man leaves for Jakarta on the traditional merantau journey and becomes caught up in human trafficking.
The fighting in it
Gareth Evans' first film with Iko Uwais and the purest depiction of Harimau silat on screen — without The Raid's pace, but with attention to the cultural context the style comes from.
