Indonesia 2016
Deputy Ambassador of Indonesia in the Netherlands Mr Ibnu Wahyutomo welcomed the guests and formally opened the Indonesia Film Festival.
What’s up with Love ? 2(Ada Apa Dengan Cinta 2) is a fantastic movie for anyone who loves a good, classic romance film, an absolute must see film! The story is meaningful and incredibly easy to relate to, it makes you feel connected and compassionate. The film recounts how Rangga and Cinta are dealing with their break-up before ultimately making up again.
Cinta expresses her resentment towards Rangga who had returned to Indonesia in order to put an end to their relationship and that she only agreed to meet him because of her friends. Rangga explains that he broke up with her because of the academic and vocational pressure he was experiencing in New York. He thought that he couldn’t make Cinta happy so they decided to part as friends. Nevertheless, Cinta ended up spending the entire day with Rangga, forgetting her vacation schedule in Yogyakarta with her friends. However before saying good-bye, Cinta kissed Rangga, both are shocked!
Cinta then returns to her studio in Jakarta and Rangga pays his mother a visit before making his way back to the Big Apple. However Cinta can’t get Rangga out of her head. A month later Cinta breaks up with her fiancé Trian and gets on a plane to New York. Rangga and Cinta express their love for each other, and share a passionate kiss in Central Park. Finally the lovers are reunited again!
It was a lovely two hours of watching a film that I could watch time and time again.
