The movie that finally come to commercial cinema after his long
journey at various festival at several country, seen it at limited
cinema because Avengers: Endgame invasion in all cinema. Surprisingly
all seat is full at the theater, good sign for Indonesian film. The
story inspired by Rianto Manali's life as Lengger dancer and take various stories of traditional dancer at Java. Garin Nugroho
with his experience take the helm to direct this masterpiece. Step into
technical aspect, sound production department is something that I note,
detail of the sound, good scoring selection and nice music to accompany
us follow the life of Juno. The director also taken serious attention at little detail due the time setting is in early 90s to 2000,
every instrument seems spot on. For acting, I like Muhammad Khan's
acting how he move or dance seems natural and the young Juno also has
good time on screen. Above all, one point that make this special is the
script, I enjoy every dialog on this movie, every dialog has a meaning
doesn't matter if it just trivial one or on important scene it's just
make deep impression on me and all the advice, or we call it “Wejangan” in Java from the old person it
seems easy to get in to our heart. Big issue that raise from this movie
is the LGBT theme, but for me it's more that it, it's about how our
body as a vessel of our soul is the one that take impact of all our
action, our body will react to all aspect surrounding us. Our body is
ours, it's our story.
