BLIND PIG WHO WANTS TO FLY
Blind Pig Who Wants to Fly follows several people in Indonesia in a series of short segments. Some of these are in the present, some of these are in the past, all revolve around family and acquaintances of a Chinese girl called Linda. Her childhood boyfriend wants to be Japanese, her mother is a former badminton champion, her blind father is a dentist who decides to be \"more Indonesian\", and his assistant wants to participate in \"Indonesian Idol\" even though her voice is crap. And Linda herself knows a good party trick: she puts lit firecrackers in her mouth.
Blind Pig Who Wants to Fly is a film that is both serious and playful. It tackles a sensitive racial political issue, namely the denial of the cultural identity of the Chinese minority in Indonesia, but is also filled with humorous and bizarre jokes and situations.
A well-known song by Stevie Wonder is for instance repeated so often that it becomes confusing and worrying. Edwin obviously doesn’t want to make a comfortable film, nor only to paint surrealistic scenes. (Gertjan Zuilhof)
