JAKARTA - Minister of Culture (Menbud) Fadli Zon attended the gala premiere of the film Para Perasuk at Epicentrum XXI, Jakarta, Thursday, April 16. In front of national filmmakers, Fadli assessed Wregas Bhanuteja's latest work was not an ordinary film. He saw Para Perasuk daring to enter a territory that is rarely touched, namely the practice of possession that is still alive in the Indonesian community as part of local culture and beliefs.
Fadli said the film directed by the director and screenwriter Wregas Bhanuteja was strong, brave, and different. According to the Minister, Para Perasuk showed that Indonesian films could go further by exploring the cultural background that is still alive in society, not just making it a story template.
"This film is very interesting, strong, and out of the box. In my opinion, this work brings Indonesian cinema to a new level by raising various cultural backgrounds that are still alive and thriving as part of the living culture," said Fadli Zon.
He also highlighted the power of music, the context of the story, and the social message brought by the film. According to Fadli, these elements make Para Perasuk have the opportunity to get a wide response, both domestically and internationally.
The film highlights the clash and encounter between the modern world and traditions that still survive. With a strong visual approach and an intense atmosphere, Para Perasuk not only offers a different cinematic experience, but also invites the audience to look back at the human relationship with tradition, spirituality, and cultural identity.
The Perasuk is starring Angga Yunanda, Indra Birowo, Maudy Ayunda, and marks Anggun C. Sasmi's big screen debut. The presence of the actors strengthens the story built on a cultural background and social conflicts that are close to Indonesian reality.
The film's gala premiere was also attended by actors, filmmakers, producers, and film industry players. Accompanying Fadli Zon, Director General of Development, Utilization, and Culture Development Ahmad Mahendra.
