The Sinking of Van Der Wijck

I never read the novel before watching this,but my god i'm truly in awe of Hamka for writing this masterpiece even though it was adapted from a novel still it was so beautiful.Even from the start I was already hooked up to the artful dialogue,the different accent and culture between Minangkabau & Bugis.Herjunot Ali as Zainuddin truly a standout performer in this movie with supporting casts that were also great.Finally,what compliment great movie if not great music and soundtrack?The ship scene and the aftermath looks too simplistic but otherwise can be forgiven.Overall - this will stay in my Netflix list for a long time.
