Indonesian cinema is examined through its unique creative expressions, highlighting the contributions of filmmakers who reveal lesser-known facets of their society. The narrative begins with the neorealist films from the early 1950s that reflect the struggles of independence. It then delves into political allegories across various regimes, explores the portrayal of Islam in cinema, and celebrates the works of Betawi comedian Benyamin S. The book concludes by showcasing the innovative resurgence of Indonesian cinema post-Suharto, particularly the emergence of women writer-directors.
