Good artistic.....
one of the most serious jobs, starting from research and small elements in artistic or property, displaying combinations of colors and shapes, colors that are appropriate and modern in their time
and also work that during the production process is fun. Everything is done together.
And the favorite is also for sounds that really enter the ears and mind too, everything makes a good combination
Don't miss all the visual and audio scenes in this film!!!
It's no surprise that this film appears everywhere, internationally because it is a quality, acting film.
To get many nominations on the international stage.

Arresting portrayal of Sundanese woman and her midlife crisis during 60s. Kamila Andini carefully photographed every moments though never ceased to intrigue audience. Salma & Basuki gave nuanced performances to underline difficult choices and cultural hurdles.
An Indonesian examination of female independence. A powerful lead performance. The masterful mise-en-scène evoked some emotions, yes, but there is some disconnect with the characters. The surreal environment prevents real connection with the story. I finished this film more frustrated and vexed than before, and that would be the opposite of entertaining in my book.
So she's back with her original husband? Or is she? I am not a fan of surreal films where you never know what is a dream and what is reality. Kudos for the cinematography and atmospheric soundtrack. Unfortunately, that was nowhere near enough to make this viewing experience likeable.
Lush set, empty plot.

No wonder Laura Basuki won best supporting performance in Berlinale Int' Film Fest, she's so amazing. The movie was good I think Kamila Andini is so brave to make this movie and of course you guys need to watch YUNI, that's her best movie.
The search of happiness can be an elusive one, especially when confronted by challenges on multiple fronts, even for those who ostensibly appear to be superficially contented and well off. Such is the fate of a seemingly comfortable middle-aged housewife in 1960s Indonesia, whose first husband, a military officer, mysteriously disappeared and whose second spouse, a plantation owner, is having a less-than-veiled affair, all of which is set against the country's political unrest of the period. It's a scenario further complicated by her willingness to capitulate to her circumstances and by the secrets she keeps from virtually everyone. Surprisingly, though, when her husband's mistress moves in with the family, the two strike up an unlikely friendship, one that leads to some difficult but unexpectedly pleasant developments. Writer-director Kamila Andini's latest feature outing tells a slowly unfolding but ever captivating tale with surprises awaiting around every corner. The deeply heartfelt performances of Happy Salma and Laura Basuki reach out and grab viewers throughout, portrayals all the more enlivened by the film's mesmerizing soundtrack, gorgeous cinematography and inventive, revelatory surreal dream sequences. Admittedly, the pacing at times could be a little more up-tempo, but this is a small price to pay for an otherwise thoroughly engaging watch, one of the Chicago Film Festival's surprise charmers.
