Synopsis |
Winner of the Best Film and Best
Actor honours at the 2004 Indonesian
Academy Awards, and a huge success
at Queer Film Festivals around the
world, Arisan! is a wonderfully
entertaining delight delving into
the lives of three well-to-do
30-somethings in modern-day Jakarta.
Sakti is a successful architect who
keeps his homosexuality hidden from
his mother and best friends, Meimei
and Andien, both of whom are
suffering their own crises: Meimei
is an interior designer and is
desperate to become pregnant but her
philandering husband shows no
interest, while Andien's life is
thrown in turmoil when her husband
confesses to cheating on her. When
Sakti begins an affair with sexy TV
producer Nino our closeted hero must
maintain a strict charade of
heterosexuality, but who is he
kidding? When he is chosen to host
Meimei's arisan, where a group of
women get together to support each
other (but end up spitting catty
remarks and trying to out-do one
another) the stage is set for some
truths, and even more bitchy
cat-calling! |
