[ewro]

[orangenation64]

@ewro finally?

[ewro]

@orangenation64 um...maksud saya, saya dapat dvd-nya dari seorang teman yang ada di Belanda...sebab di indonesia sendiri, dvd movie-nya tidak dijual.

i mean, finally i have this dvd movie from my friend in Netherlands...because in indonesia, this movie not for sale...

[rizqferd]

the DVD has been oficially released in The Netherland and UK !!!

[edmame]

nice, looks like a modern dance interpretation of javanese dance too? i don't think this is as impenetrable as stuff like Color of Pomegranates.

[colibri1953]

One of the most disturbing films I've ever experienced, I walked out after 45 minutes. I felt abused.

[rizqferd]

yes you're fans of commercial movies with computerized visual effects with no taste !!!!!!!

[uberrokk]

lol why?

I can't believe I missed this film! It was in my town at rotterdam film festival. I'm really bummed that I didn't had the time to check it out. It looks pretty amazing, the drama, the music, the movements when they dance. I'm Javanese and I also practice Javanese dances so that makes it more interesting for me.

@nozzlepozzle be happy you missed it you gypsie

I just missed this at the MoMa in New York. Does anyone have any creative ideas about where I can get a copy, doesn't matter what Region it is, if it's a DVD.

Thanks, A.

[orangenation64]

@600euros yes, i do actually.....take a dump in your hand and try to force it into your DVD player

[archein]

I saw the Film at the London Film Festival, and utterly fell in love with it, as it resonates a lot with my own professional interests (I'm a socio-cultural anthropologist and my current work focuses on Javanese ritual symbolism and practices). As soon as I saw the film I went to copy the above trailer from the rotterdam film festival website (cf. vid description for the website's address) and posted it here so this absolute gem of a film could get more exposure.

[harunade]

it was shown in indonesia not so long ago, but quite limited though. as far as i know, it was only played in blitz megaplex and one 21 cineplex in yogyakarta.

[archein]

yes I heard that Yogya finally has a 21 Cineplex again, its about time! The people of Yogya waited for a long time without a decent cinema since the old one burned down years ago (I used to live there).

As for this film playing in Indonesia, I wouldn't be surprised if the showings are far and few between as the film contains a few scenes which may be considered shocking for the rather prudish Indonesian sensitivities... and it is very political

[orangenation64]

@harunade thank god it was only two theatres

[sury]

I had the honor to meet Mr. Garin himself in SIFF 2007. One of the most well celebrated film by far, how inspirational!

[mulyanto]

i love indonesia movies........

[orangenation64]

@mulyanto you spelled hate wrong

[Leesumi]

전혀 새로운 형식의 뮤지컬. 인도네시아에서만 만들 수 있는 뮤지컬. [오페라 자바]는 가믈란 음악의 훌륭한 전통을 영화 속에 재현. 기본 줄거리는 인도의 라마야나에서 따 왔다. 도기 공장을 운영하는 세티오의 아름다운 아내 시티에 반한 마을의 재력가 루디로는 시티를 끊임없이 유혹한다. 결국, 그들의 탐욕과 질투는 비극으로 막을 내리고 만다.

2006 부산국제영화제 출품작
