Lagu Untukmu
1973 · 1h 57m · Drama, Music
Skip it—this 1970s Indonesian musical drama plays like a dated variety show with a melodramatic love story that doesn't justify sitting through eight musical numbers. Unless you're a completist of vintage Asian cinema or have a deep affection for retro Bollywood-style romances, there are better ways to spend your evening.
Plot
Containing eight songs, the film is like TV variety show of music and singers. Charma, an architecture student, falls in love with Anita. Thanks to advice from Bagio Sumarto, an old artist, Charma manages to win Anita, even though her mother, who has a royal lineage, considers that an artist would lower the family’s prestige. It was a strange assumption, present at the time of the film’s production. Charma then helps Bagio realise his dream of building a village for artists by staging a big successful show. And Anita turns out to be the daughter of Bagio who has long been separated from his wife.
