  bagai mengapung ditengah lautan luas
  mengikuti kemana arus ombak pergi
  karena tak punya tujuan jelas
  ikutin aja, nanti juga ngerti

• Review by EqqiSyahputra ★★

  This film actually has a lot of potential that can be developed as well as a unique premise, but unfortunately it feels like many are missing in it. The story seems deviated and does not focus on the main characters and stories. Instead of filling the entire film with riddles and answers "man from the sea", this film focuses on the stories of all the characters in it. It's not wrong, but it just feels lost. The clarity of the main character doesn't seem to be well explored until the end. The potential of Kris and Takashi's characters can actually be used as comedic centers, but unfortunately there are only a few scenes that show their strong chemistry. The film does not score much, the dialogue is also too focused on the whole and is not summarized well. Even so, I salute all the Japanese actors here who present Indonesian quite well.

  Mengalun pelan bagai laut tenang, berguncang-guncang bagai ombak. 'The Man from the Sea' bagaikan kapal yang sedang berada di lautan. Kadang pelan, kadang berguncang, dan membawa penumpangnya ke tempat yang tak terduga. Indah.

• Review by Fariz Razi ★★★

  Koji Fukada's THE MAN FROM THE SEA is a modern fantasy that revolves around the relationship between human and nature and concurrently observing the connection between two different nations. As a collaborative project between Japan and Indonesia (and France)'s film companies, and as a commemoration of Indonesia and Japan's 60th anniversary of diplomatic relationship, Fukada wants to show how these two countries are alike and how they're not in more ways than one.

  Inspired by the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami in Japan, Fukada links the incident to Aceh, Indonesia which suffered the same tragedy in 2004. Fukada wants the audiences to interpret what Laut, a mysterious man who suddenly surfaced from the sea of Aceh, represents in their own…

  Film qui penche vers le surnaturel avec une relation entre ces personnages que j’affectionne très particulièrement (en plus ils sont tous trop beaux) et puis ces paysages sont juste magnifiques et y’a pleins de choses qui font que j’ai envie d’aller en Indonésie là maintenant.

  Après j’ai pas grand chose à en tirer mais j’ai passé un moment plus qu’agréable et je pense que ça joue sur mon avis car avec ce type de film tout est feeling, avec un brin de poésie et une vague de douceur.

  Un film bienveillant avec des interactions humaines. Une représentation moderne et crédible de l’apparition d’un messie. Entre miracles et égoïsme, le personnage de Laut plein de malice qui en dit beaucoup en disant très peu. J’ai tout de même eu l’impression que le film aurait pu être d’avantage développé, mais je suppose que ca fait parti du charme de celui-ci :)
