Year of living dangerously had good actors. Young Mel Gibson excelled. But the whole time I had a strange feeling from that movie, like something would turn wrong and the film would eventually show the true Indonesian inferno. With my buddy Enşpígl, we were waiting for it the whole movie, and I fell asleep in the last fifteen minutes. But when I went back to the film and watched the rest, still hoping that something would go wrong, I was shocked. It didn't. So this movie eventually left a pretty negative impression on me, as it is, at first glance, a very attractive drama from an original environment, which is also not twice as awaited, and in the end it can't even interest anything and actually just bores the whole time. Well, too bad...

A romantic story against a background of revolution in Indonesia with all the regular pluses and minuses of the genre. Occasionally exaggeratedly languishing sequences contrast with great acting performances. Young Gibson is flawless and mainly Sigourney appears in an untraditional guise. But they are dominated by Linda Hunt in the role of Billy. Not a bad movie at all, maybe a bit slow. In any case, Weir can do better.
