Teenage Bride II

1982 Movie Drama

Indonesian tragi-drama about an ill-fated romance between two troubled teens; the female half stricken with terminal cancer. Though labeled a sequel, this is basically just a rehash of the first film from 1971, which itself was a rehash of the cheesy worldwide hit Love Story from just one year earlier. In case you haven't yet had your fill of seeing teens whining, suffering and dying, the first film was rehashed yet again in 1991 under the same title.

The situation changes with the appearance of Ferico, an old school friend of Dewi, who continues to pursue her after his divorce. Both Dayan and Dewi finally return to their partners. Director Arifin chooses a “poetic” style of telling the story so that the storyline follows the internal conflicts of the characters. The poetry is also characterized by slick photography.
