Kapanlagi.com - Last Friday (10/2/2020), the film BIDADARI MENCARI SAYAP was released on the Disney+ Hotstar streaming service. This drama, directed by Aria Kusumadewa, brings together Leony VH and Rizki Hanggono for the first time on screen.
The film, produced by Deddy Mizwar under the banner of Citra Sinema, highlights the marriage of Angela and Reza, which is based on the ethnic differences between Chinese and Arab. Not to mention the demands from their respective parents.
1. Difficulties in Remaking
Citra Sinema
Deddy Mizwar revealed that initially he planned to remake the film DI BALIK KELAMBU directed by Teguh Karya, which won six Citra Awards at the 1983 FFI. However, due to difficulties in the process, Arya Kusumadewa eventually brought the same concept but with a different perspective.
"During the creative process, Arya and I discussed remaking Teguh Karya's film DI BALIK KELAMBU. Then the process became a bit difficult. Because it was difficult, we came up with this idea from a different perspective. I think interethnic marriages, with different beliefs, are very interesting. The preparation was also quick," said Deddy in a virtual conference via Zoom, last week.
2. First Pop Film by Aria Kusumadewa
Aria Kusumadewa himself wrote the screenplay for this film in just one month and immediately received approval to be produced by Deddy Mizwar without much revision. The man who is familiarly called To Chang stated that this BIDADARI MENCARI SAYAP is his most popular and commercial film compared to his other works.
"This is my first pop film. I have never made a heartwarming drama like this before, but I tried. Maybe Mr. Deddy is also tired of my stories that don't sell well in the mainstream. (Through this film) I reveal not about marriage itself, because based on empirical experience there is an unseen disaster and I want to reveal the cause of the disaster," said Aria in the same session.
