...made some terrific indie movies about isolated youths (George Washington, Snow Angels) and probably took this job cause he wanted to make a movie more than a handful of people would see - mixes all the ingredients to create a comedy that brings a nicely deflating note of realism to action-film mayhem, as well as being one of the few drug movies you don't have to be high to enjoy...
Such moves signal the latest triumph of realism over ideology--and a victory for Rice and her diplomatic team over the neoconservatives led by Vice President Dick Cheney. Since Rice took the helm at State in 2005, she has steadily consolidated her authority over foreign policy. If her clout isn't absolute, it is approaching the veto-proof swat that Cheney enjoyed as the secret vicar of national security...

The pastoral depictions of Indonesian village life produced by Bonnet and others were dismissed by Sudjojono as so much shallow Orientalism. "For my people, reality is the reality of rice," he wrote in 1950, arguing for a muscular realism.

Toward the end of his life - disenchanted by Suharto's right-wing regime and shunned by leftist artists who felt he had betrayed them - Sudjojono turned...
...under Suharto, however, that Sudjojono began to blossom as an artist. Unencumbered by the constraints of socialist realism, he began to experiment with Pop Art and Expressionistic techniques. In a time of dictatorship, it was perhaps just as well. "The Suharto era made it impossible for political thought to be rendered in art," says Ahmad Mashadi, head of the Museum of the National University of Singapore Centre for the Arts. In fact, by quitting LEKRA early, Sudjojono escaped the punishment that Suharto was to mete out to leftist artists, and became the most prominent figure of what Kwok calls...
