Ratna Riantiarno
Ratna Riantiarno, man, she’s basically a legend in Indonesian cinema, and her filmography? Pretty wild. You’ve probably caught her in “Love for Sale 2” (2019), where the whole thing spins around the oddball world of modern dating—like, swiping, awkward encounters, and all the weirdness that comes with trying to figure out what the heck love even means these days. She totally nails the role, bringing this warmth and complexity that makes you care even when people are being absolute disasters.
Jump over to “Mencuri Raden Saleh” (2022) and things switch up big time. This one’s a heist film—think “Ocean’s Eleven” but make it Indonesian art world. Ratna’s part isn’t just a throwaway side character; she adds this layer of tension, like you’re never quite sure whose side she’s really on. The movie’s loaded with action, double-crosses, and some genuinely funny moments. The whole cast works together so tightly, but Ratna? She stands out every time.
“Teka Teki Tika” (2021) is another switch-up. It’s got this whole mystery vibe, family secrets spilling out all over the place. Ratna brings this intense energy, like she’s holding onto secrets you’d kill to know. The movie itself is twisty, unpredictable, and never lets up, and she’s at the core of it—pulling strings, keeping you guessing.
Honestly, her range is kinda nuts. Doesn’t matter if it’s comedy, suspense, or straight-up drama—she dives all in. That’s Ratna Riantiarno for you.
