Love for Share - Berbagi suami

Three women from different backgrounds wrestle with the soul-crushing binds of polygamy in "Love for Share" a frank treatment of a normally taboo subject thats strong on heartfelt sympathy but weak on construction. Helmer Nia Dinata whose "Arisan!" featured the first Indonesian onscreen gay kiss doesnt shy from difficult topics but here her script cries out for greater focus and a firmer hold on development. Pics future wont extend beyond scattered fest dates.While each story is self-contained characters intersect in small ways. Weakest segment is the first: On discovering her husbands ever-increasing harem ob/gyn Salma (Jajang C. Noer) struggles to reconcile her role as obedient Muslim wife with her sense of betrayal. In a crowded slum Siti (Shanty) chafes as her uncles third bride redefining her sense of individuality in the arms of fellow wife Dwi (Rieke Diah Pitaloka). Flirtatious Ming (Dominique) tries to use a secret marriage to the boss for her own ends but wife number one isnt feeling generous. Second segment was shot in Super 16 giving the grittier atmosphere a much-needed air of reality especially lacking in part one. Shifts in story-lines are clumsily handled.
