Opera Jawa - Film (Indonesian Film / 2006). Directed by Garin Nagruho. Setyo and Siti lead a peaceful life, selling earthenware in their village. But when Setyo is called away on business, a flirtatious butcher, Ludiro, taking advantage of Siti's loneliness, tries to seduce her. Tempted by song and dance, Siti initially refuses his advances but acquiesces in a moment of weakness, setting the stage for an epic battle between the two men. Located in lush forests and on the pristine beaches of Java, director Garin Nugroho bases his deeply imagistic and dazzling visual narrative on the 'The Abduction of Sita,' from the Ramayana. As part of Look East! Contemporary Cinema from Asia - Film Festival.
