Prima, ora e poi

Being lyrical, melancholic, and chalked up with moody cello, it's easy to call Nana being heavily influenced by In the Mood For Love. While the sentiment might ring some truth to it, they're different films altogether. There are some parts when the film veers deep within its artistic sensibility yet signifies almost nothing. Despite that, as a subtle melodrama with a subdued tone and lush visual, Nana still resonates well and is enthralling.

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.

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.

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.

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.
