Gea Rexy

Gea Rexy’s filmography is a wild little trip through Indonesia’s evolving movie scene. Qodrat (2022) shows off the country’s obsession with supernatural horror—think exorcisms, evil spirits, all that spooky jazz, but with a really local twist. The whole thing’s drenched in that gritty, humid tension unique to Southeast Asia, and honestly, it’ll have you side-eyeing your own shadow by the end. The director doesn’t pull punches with the scares, either. It’s not Hollywood jump scares but more of a creeping, unsettling dread that sticks with you. Then there’s Sobat Ambyar (2021), which couldn’t be more different. This one’s a bittersweet romance, soaked in heartbreak and soundtracked by dangdut and campursari tunes. It’s about love lost, the kind that makes you want to text your ex at 2 a.m., and the weird comfort you find in sad songs. The writing’s honest, sometimes painfully so, and the humor lands in that classic Indonesian way—dry but with a wink. The Devil’s Lair (2023) takes another turn, diving into the dark underbelly of crime. It’s got a whole noir vibe, with smoky bars, double-crosses, and tension you could cut with a knife. The characters aren’t clean-cut heroes; they’re messy, flawed, and honestly, way more interesting for it. If you want a taste of how modern Indonesian cinema juggles genre, emotion, and a dash of chaos, Rexy’s picks are a solid place to start.
