Review of Jalanan

Jalanan (2013)
10/10
Visually stunning look at life in Jakarta
31 July 2015
This beautifully shot film by Director and Producer Daniel Ziv gives the viewer a rarely seen inside look at life for three struggling street musicians in Jakarta. I felt like I was right there with Boni, Titi and Ho - crying with them through their struggles and applauding their triumphs. The sound of the busker's music in the streets, and the visually stunning images of the city and countryside of Indonesia make this a truly remarkable film. Amazingly, the filmmaker was able to get inside a Jakarta prison for a night. I will never forget those scenes and the conversations of the so-called prisoners that he caught on film. Bravo!
