As The Heart Bones Break
A Brief Cultural History of Indonesian Cinema
Good movies can be entertaining, but great movies can be life-altering. The best ones inspire you, raise your spirit and deepen your thinking. What appears on screen can also reveal the society we live in. As A Brief Cultural History of Indonesia shows, film is a modern articulation of national cultural identity. Throughout the historical stages elaborated in the book, we see that Indonesian cinema reflects the nation’s socio-political dynamic over different periods spanning almost a hundred years. The purpose of this book is to give a glimpse of the rich history of Indonesian cinema, to generate a deeper understanding of its heritage, and to contribute to the preservation of our cultural roots through the power of film. It is also a salute to the pioneers of Indonesian filmmaking for their accomplishments and the influence they had on all of us who escaped to the movies to be astonished, provoked, and delighted.
