Country: Indonesia
Directed by Usmar Ismail
One of the most famous and celebrated movies in the history of Indonesian cinema "After the curfew" is without doubt the masterpiece of Usmar Ismail, a pioneer artist who, as a film historian quoted, was the first Indonesian director that used film as means of expression and not simply as a way to make money. "After the curfew" is a movie with very few weaknesses, surprisingly fresh almost 70 years after its production, depicting with simplicity and bitterness the reality of the post war independent Indonesia, where the dream of a new, bright society and the ideals of the revolution buried under the corruption and the privileges of the few: a reality so universal that we feel related with, no matter from which part of the planet we are watching the film
