Janda Kembang


Janda Kembang is a comedy film; Start at 7 May has been playing in cinemas. From the title we can have a suggestion that it is about a widow story. There were many films in Indonesian movie had this theme. It is a classical theme in film. But I still attracted to see in theatre.

Asih(Selasih played by Luna Maya). She is a new comer, and just visit to Pulo Bantal. It is a village out side Jakarta. Fortunately she asking to sing a song by Dodiirama Band in a wedding ceremonial. She is a beautiful woman and sexy and also have a good performance. All man in the village proud to fall in love her. Than there is an issue that she is a new widow. She makes jealousy to the entire wife’s in the village, because all the man and husband had attracted to her. It will get worst because she is a “dangdut singer”.

In the election time of the village’s master, Dodi Irama always calls to show play. Asih support as a singer inside that makes Dodi Irama success. Her performance on stage and out stage always makes up set all the women villagers. All, She make the men became forget to his husband position. Especially Yuli Nada (Sarah Sechan) is Mr Dodi wives. Yuli is the first singer in Dodi Irama before Asih coming. Now Yuli feel her position has been in a danger, both either as a singer or as a wife.

Yuli absolutely jealousy to Asih. She is expressing her jealousy in a bad ways. She orders to all the women villagers to beat Asih, and she is purpose to send out Asih from the village. Finally Asih had gone out from the village after her house was burnt. At the ending story, Asih actually is not a widow, but she is a wife of a chairman. His husband was in a trouble and asked as a corruptor. It is makes Asih runaway and hide to the village,

This film is an entertain fair one. Each people performance a good character in the cast. Sarah Sechan well play as Yuli, The unique character is Asih (Luna Maya), she is cast as a silence widow. She did not make much convertation, just sing only. I give good appreciation to Luna Maya because she well sing many song in dangdut genre music. It is really different with her cast in her films before. There is a note, this film has been producted by Hanung Bramantyo, He is sometimes makes comedy films as “Tarik Jabrik” and “Si jago Merah” (Written by Aji and joe ).
