Review Of Ipar Film Is Death, Lies Can Never Be Perfect

Film Ipar Adalah Maut (MD Pictures)

JAKARTA - The film Ipar is Death, based on a true story shared by the TikTok account @elizasifaa, this film tells the story of the experience of a wife who finds her husband having an affair with her own younger sibling.

This film follows the story of Nisa (Michelle Ziudith) who first met her husband named Aris (Deva Mahendra) when Nisa was still in college and Aris became a young lecturer on his campus.

After getting to know each other more deeply, Aris decided to propose to Nisa. Their marriage was initially very happy and harmonious.

The audience was also carried away by their domestic harmony by describing Aris as a smart and charismatic husband and Nisa as a loving wife.

Their household began to be subjected to an exam when Nisa's mother (Dewi Irawan) entrusted Nisa's sister, Rani (Davina Karamoy), to live in the same house because she studied in their city.

Initially everything went normally, Aris and Nisa's household ran harmoniously and happily, coupled with the presence of a mere child named Raya (Alesha Fadhillah).

Unexpectedly, Rani began to grow into the seeds of love for Aris and vice versa, Aris was also then attracted to his own wife's younger brother. Until finally they had a forbidden relationship without Nisa's knowledge.

The lie covered by Aris and Rani one day was finally revealed by Nisa. Aris' affair immediately destroyed Nisa's household, which had been built for years.

The famous director Hanung Bramantyo and the MD Pictures production house present a religious touch that tells the story of domestic destruction due to infidelity in this film.

In terms of the story, the film Ipar Maut has a story pattern similar to other films of infidelity in the household. The thing that is a bit different here is the character of the husband who seizes people is the younger brother of his own wife.

Hanung Bramantyo successfully played with the audience's emotions through the flow and conflict in this film. At the beginning of the audience was brought to feel the warmth of Aris and Nisa's household. Then the audience's emotions were immediately confused after the conflict arose when Aris had an affair with Rani.

The flow of conflict was also brought up from the middle to the end of the film which seemed not to break the audience's emotions towards Aris and Rani's affair.

The flow that touches the heart is also supported by the slick acting of the actors. The cooking in this story is very strong and the actors who play it also further stir the emotions of the audience.

Quoted from ANTARA, the most memorable scene was the time when Aris and Nisa had a big fight after their affair with Rani was exposed.

In that scene, the acting of Michelle Ziudith and Deva Mahendra successfully conveyed the sad, angry, and disappointed emotions that the storyline was trying to bring.

Through the film Ipar Is Death, Hanung Bramantyo tries to convey a warning that no matter how smart a lie is covered one day it will be revealed too. Another message that this film wants to convey is the most dangerous storm that people have not realized so far.
