Following Diana

msmichel

A man announces he is going to take a second wife expecting his Indonesian wife to play along and not upset the balance of things. Instead she finds her independence through her pride and perhaps brighter days lie ahead. Well made if slight short from Kamila Andini perhaps spelling promise of future endeavours.

Sin título.

Más allá de abordar los problemas de la poligamia y mostar ese orden social legítimo que violenta los intereses de las mujeres dentro del matrimonio, podemos ver a una esposa cuyo conflicto más grande no es el hecho de que su esposo adquiera una nueva cónyuge sino la búsqueda de la individualidad que había perdido al dejar de ser persona y convertirse en esposa.

Tatlı, yumuşak bir anlatım, sade ve güçlü bir oyunculuk. Kadınların değerini erkekler üzerinden belirleyen bir toplumsal anlayışta 'değiştirmeye, dönüştürmeye' yönelik sağlam bir adım atıyor Diana, hem kendi hayatı hem de tüm kadınlar adına.

A unique look on polygamy and single moms(married or divorced). Very good acting made this short-film worth watching. Diana and Rifki watching TV will make your day. The whole film was made sometimes as if it wanted us to be viewers, sometimes it wanted to involve us. Mostly it wanted us to follow Diana. In some scenes I could. In some I couldn't. But, it surely has a heart.

Interesting Study of a foreign (to me) microcosmos, taht turns out to have the same problems as everywhere else. Very reserved and unexcited film, I really enjoyed the main character tough and the sober and clean structur of the film. Worth a watch.

sloppy ... even film's lenght only 40 minutes ,director is showing us very bad cinematography. also there are weak metaphors , car washing scene etc. also we dont have to watch mobile messages everytime , where are actings ?it is very easy way to tell story with mobile messages .We have to understand situation with actings not reading messages. where is disproportionate violence against women? waste of time.

I wanted to like this, I really did. The art direction was the only thing of remote interest. The actress for Diana gave an accurate performance -- I say accurate because this is a predictable story that's been told hundreds of times. Slow and uneventful.

Kadının duygularını ve toplumdaki yerini hiçe sayan çok eşlilik sistemine bir eleştiri de Endonezya sinemasından geliyor. Özellikle de poligami'nin yaygın olduğu Arap toplumlarında kadının itaat ederek ve göz kapayarak bir köle konumuna düşmesi de acı bir gerçektir. Poligami'nin ahlâken uygun gösterildiği bir toplumda böylesine cesur bir film yapmak apayrı bir başarıdır kanımca.
