- What’s the buzz about “Ibuku”?
- Who’s starring in it?
- Where is it going next?
Finally, some news about a film we’re already excited for! Eddie Cahyono’s “Ibuku” has officially been picked up by Asian Shadows for world sales. Big news for a big film.
And guess what? It’s heading to the Busan International Film Festival! It’s even in the Competition lineup. Talk about a warm welcome! We just love seeing amazing films get this kind of spotlight. Speaking of Busan, you know how much we love it there! Zhang Yimou Is Heading To Busan And We Are So Excited!
The film stars the incredible Christine Hakim. You know her, right? Also featuring Ayushita Nugraha. A powerhouse duo! “Ibuku” tells the story of Sumiati, a widow in her 60s. She lives a pretty isolated life in a small Javanese village.
Her husband… well, he took his own life. This film promises a deep, reflective vibe. We can already imagine the earthy, quiet visual aesthetic of that Javanese village, really drawing us into Sumiati’s solitude. It sounds intense. And powerful. We are SO ready to see this.
Our Take
We honestly can’t wait for “Ibuku.” Christine Hakim is a legend, and seeing her in a role like this is just thrilling. It feels like a story that will stay with you. BuzzMedia is all about celebrating these kinds of thoughtful, visually rich films. Get ready, Busan!
