Sandiwara
Set in Malaysia, Sandiwara follows a middle-aged actress whose everyday life gradually becomes indistinguishable from the performances she gives on screen. Through a compact and emotionally precise narrative, Sean Baker explores performance, identity, and the blurred boundaries between reality and fiction. The title comes from the Malay word for "theater" or "performance."
