Digital Asia: Autoethnography #1 Love for Sale (2018. Indonesia)

Trailer for Love For Sale

So this first viewing is Love For Sale, a 2018 film by Indonesian Director, Andibachtiar Yusuf. Before we get started if you haven’t already I would suggest reading my first post in this series to provide some personal context on my understanding.

So first tweets I would like to analyse is this.

#bcm320 Living conditions in Indonesia, and a view from someone from the higher socioeconomic status. Also tortoises are totally not that normal in Indonesia as Arini was also confused

#bcm320 Also there seems to be this theme of work throughout the movie so far. Obviously with Richard's questionable managerial skills; but Arini's job is companionship in every sense of the word. They seem so different, but at their core it's the same.
