Garin Nugroho - Opera Jawa aka Requiem from Java (2006) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0844742/ Language Indonesian Subtitles included: English srt, English & Dutch sub/idx [QUOTE]Inspired by 'The Abduction of Sita' from the ancient Indian and South East-Asian literary classic The Ramayana, OPERA JAWA is a unique musical tale of love, lust and tragedy. Setio and his wife Siti, own a pottery business in a small village ran by Ludiro, a powerful and ruthless businessman. Ludiro, who is in love with Siti, seizes his chance when the couple's business collapses. He abducts and tries to seduce Siti. The two men fight and inevitably jealousy spills over into violence and tragedy.

The closest comparison I can think of is a film like Operetta Tanuki Goten, except much less whimsical. Others have drawn comparisons to the films of Matthew Barney and Paradjanov's Sayat Nova. It's best to approach Opera Jawa less as a film and more as a modernist re-imagining of the Javanese dance-drama artform. Like a dance-drama, narrative form is sacrificed to focus on the aesthetics of dance and musical performance, because one is expected to already be familiar with the story. This approach is even a bit of a departure for Garin Nugroho, whose films have long been successful in the festival circuit, but this is the first film of his to be released on DVD as far as I know.[/QUOTE] http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i58/lord_terabyte/Clipboard01-72.png http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i58/lord_terabyte/Clipboard02-75.png http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i58/lord_terabyte/Clipboard03-74.png http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i58/lord_terabyte/Clipboard04-61.png http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i58/lord_terabyte/Clipboard05-48.png http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i58/lord_terabyte/Clipboard06-34.png http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i58/lord_terabyte/Clipboard07-6.png ---------my rip, one of my first-------- This is one of the best movies I've ever seen! ~~~~~~ Opera Jawa.avi ~~~~~~ File Size (in bytes):...........................1,336,350,720 --- Container Information --- Base Type:......................................AVI(.AVI) Subtype:........................................OpenDML (AVI v2.0), Interleave (in ms):.............................40 Preload (in ms):................................448 Audio alignment:................................Split Number of Audio Streams:........................1 --- Video Information --- Video Codec Name:...............................XviD ISO MPEG-4 Duration (hh:mm:ss):............................1:55:28 Frame Count:....................................173186 Frame Width (pixels):...........................704 Frame Height (pixels):..........................384 Aspect Ratio:...................................1.833 Frames Per Second:..............................25.000 Video Bitrate (kbps):...........................1341 ......MPEG-4......B-VOP........................

hallo lord terabyte - thanks so much for making this film available! There's far too little from Indonesia, so your contribution is really valuable (apart from the fact that the film itself is unique in its way). Much appreciated!
greetings, andarisana
