As rough as it is in some spots, "After the Curfew," made in 1954, is still a compelling look at post independence Indonesia as seen through the eyes of one former freedom fighter. The question now for most is what kind of country they will live in, as there is an intriguing mix of western and traditional clothing on display. While for most people it seems the war never happened, even with the curfew, for Iskandar, a former student, it never stopped, as the movie deftly explores the universal and timeless themes of soldiers finding it hard to adjust back into civilian society which is helped by the movie's efficient use of noir influences.
