Laki-Laki Tak Bernama (Indonesian for Man Without a Name) is a 1969 Indonesian film directed by Achmad Salim.

Plot

[edit]

Laki-Laki Tak Bernama shows a number of scenes related to sexuality, including a cheating wife and husband.[1]

Production

[edit]

Laki-Laki Tak Bernama was written and directed by Wim Umboh (also known as Achmad Salim) for Annie Mambo's Aries Film. The film was shot by Lukman Hakim Nain[1] in CinemaScope and Eastmancolor.[2] Idris Sardi provided the music, while Umboh handled editing.[1] According to Tempo, the film was rumored to have been shot without a screenplay.[3]

The film starred Ratno Timoer [id], Rahayu Effendi [id], Rima Melati, Rachmat Kartolo, W.D. Mochtar, and Gaby Mambo [id]. Supporting roles were held by Farida Arriany, Farouk Afero, Hamid Gruno, Paula Rumokoy, Sandy Suwardi Hassan, Sofia WD, Tien Samatha, Jeffry Sani, Boes Boestami, A. Hamid Arief, and Dicky Zulkarnaen.[1][2] This was Melati's first film role after a five year hiatus,[4] as well as the last role of Boestami, who died two years later.[5]

Release and reception

[edit]

Laki-Laki Tak Bernama was released in 1969.[1] It was advertised as the first Indonesian sex film,[2] as well as "the only National film that is the bravest and biggest . . . . with SEX scenes which are explicit without pulling any punches". The poster featured images of kissing and a woman undressing, and urged viewers to take their girlfriends to see the film.[6]

J.B. Kristanto, in his catalogue of Indonesian films, writes that, though Laki-Laki Tak Bernama builds its characters sufficiently, the film's plot is convoluted and unclear.[1]
