''Sang Penari'' (''The Dancer'') is a 2011 Indonesian film based on the trilogy of novels ''Ronggeng Dukuh Paruk'' by Ahmad Tohari and directed by Ifa Isfansyah. Starring Nyoman Oka Antara and Prisia Nasution, it tells the story of a young man and his friendship with his small village's new ''ronggeng''. The second adaptation of the ''Ronggeng Dukuh Paruk'' trilogy, ''Sang Penari'' required two years of research to better present the historical context, including the 30 September Movement and ensuing anti-communist actions; these details, censored in the original trilogy by the New Order government, were more explicit than in the novels. Although the film was set and shot in Purwokerto, Central Java, neither of the leads was ethnic Javanese. Nasution, cast in her debut role, is Batak, while Antara is Balinese. Upon its release on 10 November 2011, ''Sang Penari'' was critically praised. Tohari called it a "sublime adaptation of his work", while Labodalih Sembiring of the ''Jakarta Globe'' described its socio-cultural elements as worthy of a Shakespearean tragedy. At the 2011 Indonesian Film Festival, ''Sang Penari'' won four awards, including Best Picture, out of nine nominations. ==Plot== In 1953, two tempeh bongkrèk makers in Dukuh Paruk, a small hamlet in Banyumas, Central Java, accidentally sell poisoned tempeh, which kills many residents, including the much respected ''ronggeng'' (local traditional dancer). The residents of the hamlet begin panicking and rioting, causing the tempeh makers to commit suicide. Their daughter, Srintil, survives and is raised by her grandfather Sakarya (Landung Simatupang). Ten years later in 1963, Srintil (Prisia Nasution) and Rasus (Nyoman Oka Antara) are fast friends. Rasus also has romantic feelings for her. With the hamlet starved and in a depression since the loss of its ''ronggeng'', Sakarya receives a vision that Srintil will become a great ''ronggeng'', capable of saving the hamlet from starvation. He then convinces Srintil to become a ''ronggeng''. She then tries to proves herself to Kartareja (Slamet Rahardjo), the hamlet's ''ronggeng'' caretaker and his wife (Dewi Irawan) by dancing at the grave of Ki Secamenggala, the hamlet's founder. Her attempt is only successful after Rasus gave her the ''ronggeng'' amulet belonged to the late ''ronggeng'' of Dukuh Paruk. Seeing this amulet, Kartareja then announces that Srintil has been chosen by the founder's spirit. Meanwhile, Indonesian Communist Party member Bakar (Lukman Sardi) arrived in the hamlet and convincing local farmers to join the party, saying that the Communist party are the only ones who can help save the ''wong cilik'' (underclass) of Dukuh Paruk and their starved hamlet. After the success of her dance at the grave of Ki Secamenggala, Srintil is told that she must undergo a ritual before she can truly become a ''ronggeng'', called ''bukak klambu'' (literally "opening the veil"); her virginity will be sold to the highest bidder. This upsets Rasus, who tells Srintil that he is not comfortable with her becoming a ''ronggeng''. Srintil says that she will give her virginity to Rasus, and on the day of the ''bukak klambu'' they have sex in a goat shack; that evening, Srintil has sex with two other "highest bidders" and becomes a full ''ronggeng''. Devastated, Rasus runs away from the hamlet leaving Srintil broken-hearted, and joins a local army base, where he befriends Sergeant Binsar (Tio Pakusadewo). Binsar teaches him to read and wins Rasus' trust. Meanwhile, the residents of Dukuh Paruk start to embrace communism under Bakar's leadership, despite their unawareness of political knowledge. During Rasus' military time, Dukuh Paruk's ''ronggeng'' troupe which includes Kartareja, Sakarya, Sakum the blind ''kendhang'' player, and Srintil becomes increasingly popular and become involved in many rally events organised by the communist party. Two years later, following the failed Communist-led coup d'état in Jakarta. Rasus is sent by Binsar in operations to clear the presence of Communists in the area. However, when Dukuh Paruk's turn comes in the massacre, Rasus hurries back, leaving his army comrades to his hamlet to find and save Srintil. He found Dukuh Paruk have been destroyed and void of its inhabitants, leaving only Sakum, the blind ''kendhang'' player. His continued effort ended in vain as Rasus arrives in a hidden army concentration camp just as Srintil is taken away by the army and disappear along with the rest of Dukuh Paruk's residents. Ten years later, Rasus met a street dancer and a blind man in a village close to Dukuh Paruk who resemble Srintil and Sakum. He quickly stops her, giving her the amulet of Dukuh Paruk's ''ronggeng'' which he found in Dukuh Paruk during his search for Srintil ten years ago. The dancer nervously accepts it and leave Rasus, who smiles, signalling his recognition of his love Srintil. The movie ends with the dancer and the blind man dancing away and disappear in the horizon. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sang Penari」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
