Kuldesak poster

Released in 1998, Kuldesak is an action, comedy and drama film directed by Riri Riza, running about 110 minutes.

What it’s about. The film weaves around four stories all happening in metropolitan, dehumanizing Jakarta. In fact that is what it is about, the quality of meaninglessness of living in a place that turns people into zombies. In a place where meaning must be invented, these kids turn into the only place, the only culture they see worth tuning into: television and movies. Thus they slowly degenerate into the abysmal reinterpretation in a sort of sickening anti-hero, anti-social statements that goes absurdly a wrong turn.

Who’s in it. Kuldesak stars Bianca Adinegoro as Lina, Oppie Andaresta as Dina, Ryan Hidayat as Andre and Wong Aksan as Aksan, among others.
