Banyu Biru is the most underrated film because the film critics in Indonesia are narrow minded towards the art and surreal film.
Banyu Biru is a surreal-road movie about Banyu who (Tora) is looking for answer from his father (Slamet Raharjo). Tora Surido is playing a completely different role this time as Banyu. Tora seems don't understand about the role. Most of the time in the movie, we can see, that Tora seems don't know what he is doing. From "the making of" he does admitted that a day before the shoot, he still not able to find Banyu's character. Well, if we judge it from the movie, he never get the character. But for some reason it doesn't matter, in fact it helps the movie a lot since Banyu is "why do I live like this" kind of person.
The movie was very short for a feature film, only 70 minutes. Maybe this is one of the reason why people dislike it. But Banyu Biru still is a good movie because of it's very different compare to other Indonesia movie that were trapped in the world of teen and horror movies.
