*******************************************************************************/>
The Year Of Living Dangerously
(Peter Weir, 1982)

*******************************************************************************/>

Mel Gibson stars in this period political thriller
directed by Peter Weir. Set

in Indonesia during the 1965 coup against
President Sukarno, the film stars

Gibson as Guy Hamilton, an Australian wire-service
reporter covering the scene.

Whenever Hamilton becomes too glib or indifferent
for his own good, he is

brought back to earth by his "conscience,"
photographer Billy Kwan (played in

male drag by diminutive actress Linda Hunt, who
won an Academy Award for her

performance). As all of Jakarta sinks into
disarray, Hamilton pursues a romance

with British attaché Jill Bryant (Sigourney
Weaver). Filmed on location in the

Philippines and Australia, the film was financed
by MGM, in the first such

American-Australian financial collaboration./>

REVIEW BY ROGER EBERT / June 1, 1983

"The Year of Living Dangerously" achieves one of
the best re-creations of an

exotic locale I've ever seen in a movie. It takes
us to Indonesia in the middle

1960s, a time when the Sukarno regime was shaky
and the war in Vietnam was just

heating up. It moves us into the life of a foreign
correspondent, a radio

reporter from Australia who has just arrived in
Jakarta, and who thrives in an

atmosphere heady with danger. How is this
atmosphere created by Peter Weir, the

director? He plunges into it headfirst. He doesn't
pause for travelogue shots.

He thrusts us immediately into the middle of the
action--into a community of

expatriates, journalists, and embassy people who
hang out in the same bars,

restaurants, and clubs, and speculate hungrily on
the possibility that Sukarno

might be deposed. That would be a really big
story, a corrective for their vague

feelings of being stuck in a backwater.

Guy Hamilton, the journalist (Mel Gibson), is a
lanky, Kennedyesque, chain-

smoking young man who has a fix on excitement. He
doesn't know the ropes in

Indonesia, but he learns them quickly enough, from
a dwarfish character named

Billy Kwan.

Billy is half-Oriental and half-European, and
knows everybody and can tell you

where all the bodies are buried. He has a warm
smile and a way of encouraging

you to do your best, and if you sometimes suspect
he has unorthodox political

connections -- well, he hasn't crossed you yet. In
all the diplomatic receptions

he's a familiar sight in his gaudy tropical
shirts.

"The Year of Living Dangerously" follows Guy and
Billy as they become friends,

and something more than friends; they begin to
share a common humanity and

respect. Billy gets Guy a good interview with the
local Communist Party chief.

He even introduces Guy to Jill Bryant (Sigourney
Weaver), a British attaché with

two weeks left on her tour. As the revolution
creeps closer, as the stories get

bigger, Guy and Jill become lovers and Billy, who
once proposed to Jill, begins

to feel pushed aside.

This sounds, no doubt, like a foreign
correspondent plot from the 1940s. It is

not. "The Year of Living Dangerously" is a
wonderfully complex film about

personalities more than events, and we really
share the feeling of living in

that place, at that time. It does for Indonesia
what Bogdanovich's "Saint Jack"

did for Singapore. The direction is masterful;
Weir (whose credits include

"Picnic at Hanging Rock") is as good with quiet
little scenes (like Billy's

visit to a dying child) as big, violent ones (like
a thrilling attempt by Guy

and Billy to film a riot).

The performances of the movie are a good fit with
Weir's direction, and his

casting of the Billy Kwan character is a key to
how the film works. Billy, so

small and mercurial, likable and complicated and
exotic, makes Indonesia seem

more foreign and intriguing than any number of
standard travelogue shots

possibly could. That means that when the
travelogue shots do come (and they do,

breathtakingly, when Gibson makes a trip into the
countryside), they're not just

scenery; they do their work for the film because
Weir has so convincingly placed

us in Indonesia.

Billy Kwan is played, astonishingly, by a woman --
Linda Hunt, a New York stage

actress who enters the role so fully that it never
occurs to us that she is not

a man. This is what great acting is, a magical
transformation of one person into

another. Mel Gibson (of "The Road Warrior") is
just right as a basically

conventional guy with an obsessive streak of
risk-taking. Sigourney Weaver has a

less interesting role but is always an interesting
actress. This is a

wonderfully absorbing film.
