Arifin Putra is back for "bordertown"



Actor Arifin Putra, who's been off screen for a while is back with his new movie called Batas (border).


Directed by famous director Rudi Sudjarwo (Ada Apa Dengan Cinta?, Mengejar Matahari), Batas explores the condition of a border rural somewhere in West Kalimantan, the closest area to Malaysia, which has been way out of our radar. However, it's not a mere literally geographical but also psychological border that this movie is talking about.


Arifin plays along Marcella Zalianty, the famous Jajang C Noer, and Ardina Rasti. Marcella plays Jaleswari, a teacher from the big town coming to the border village and faces that her actual obstacle is not just about students and nature. Arifin plays a young man called Arif, a mysterious border guard. Hm, I like mysterious guy. For this movie purpose he tans his skin.


This might be Arifin's first idealistic movie after 'Merah Putih', but this one seems more down to earth and human.
