Jakarta: Film director Rudy Sujarwo has seen his dreams come true with the making of his new flick 'In the Name of Love.' which features Indonesian acting legends. "This is my dream. I have always wanted to work with the great actors and actresses who play in this movie." said the director who won the Citra Award for Best Film Director for 'Ada Apa Dengan Cinta' (What's up with Cinta) as quoted by Antara on Wednesday.
The actors he referred to are Roy Marten, currently on trial for drug possession, the charismatic Christine Hakim and Tuti Kirana, wife of renowned writer and filmmaker Syumanjaya.
Sujarwo's new flick, which is produced by Valian Circle Production and scheduled to be released in April, is not only backed by senior actors. Twilite Orchestra leader Addie MS will do some of the scores and illustrations for the movie.
New idol singer Acha Septriasa will collaborate with the orchestra in singing "Cinta Bertahan" (Lasting Love) from Jikustik's frontman Pongky Barata. Alternative band Getah will also contribute to the soundtrack with their song "Segitiga Bermimpi" (Dreaming Triangle.)
'In the Name of Love' centers on a classic conflict between love and dignity. "it tells about the relationship of two lovers from two families in which they have to choose between love and dignity," Sujarwo said.
Movies with similar themes were famous in the 1970s and 1980s, including the Indonesian version of Romeo and Juliet Rojali and Juleha. -JP
