Arisan! (DVD)

A satirical comedy set in Jakarta about friendship, homosexuality, adultery and the shallowness of the nouveau riche, "Arisan!" caused quite a stir in Indonesia when it presented the first openly gay kiss between the two male leads. Set around the traditional arisan (gatherings), this film is a wonderful look at modern Indonesia's evolving society. Color, 2003; Bahasa Indonesian with English subtitles, 129min.
