Movie Reviews

User Review - 10/10 by Sigit Pcukup memberi gambaran mengenai kondisi rakyat lebak kala itu, dimana mereka tak hanya harus menderita akbiat kolonialisme belanda namun juga ditambah feodalisme dan ketamakan penguasa lokal/ pribumi. menarik dan sangat rekomendasi.
User Review - 10/10 by Wing NA perfect film. It has everything and is beautifully shot. Peter Faber is totally magnificent. I strongly recommend it.
User Review - 10/10 by Pavandeep SI personally am extremely biased for the Dutch. I adore them, though I hate the fact that apparently everyone there speaks English. It actually terrifies me and keeps me awake at night and I hope it's not true. Anyway, this is a Dutch-Indonesian co-production and it was a lovely film with a significance to it and a certain amazing mise-en-scene I have seen in a long time. It was nice to see this both as an academic matter, as Indonesia is just nearby here plus to see a Dutch film and also, to thoroughly enjoy this, though in an odd and indescribable way, I mean, it feels flawed, but wonderfully so.
User Review - 8/10 by Daniel IFlawed but interesting epic yarn set in mid 19th century Dutch-owned Indonesia. Idealism meets colonialism in an exotic setting. The mood is pretty grim, though the acting is fairly good and the direction is spot on. Although the film doesn't wow you, the subject matter is fascinating. However, you are still left wondering what could have been achieved that wasn't.
User Review - 8/10 by Private UBeautiful setting, costumes properly done. Gives a good insight on 19th Century Colonial Java.
User Review - 6/10 by Zeinab MAn unique film, Max Havelaar known as the Dutch men Eduard Douwes Dekker. It describes the strength to reach an idealism. Although the performances were weak at some time, the main point was made clear. I loved the beautiful stetting in Indonesia. It is interesting to watch it and then you understand what the moral of the faritrade products nowadays are.
User Review - 4/10 by Ben GNot everyone is Sajitha Ray or Luchino Visconti, making an epic without real linear construction and filled with meaningful silents is a difficult endeavour. Fons Rademakers tries his best and is often close from success but he never quite manages to nail his subject and the spectator is often left bored to tears. It is really unfortunate since the cast is brilliant, in particular Peter Faber proves what a brilliant actor he is. The setting in Indonesia is glorious, but we can regret the rather dullness of the point made: if people in power were nicer to the people, there would be less poverty. The character of Max is not very well constructed either and at times his actions barely make sense. Finally, it is unfortunate that the end is a sort of small-time administrative plot which is about as interesting as it sounds.
