Madame X's Super LGBT Mission

At a time when the Indonesian film scene is dominated by serious dramas, the absurd world of "Madame X" is a breath of fresh air. From start to finish, the film is full of eccentric characters, bizarre moments and outlandish situations. Exposing the effervescent urban lives of effeminate hairdressers, while highlighting traditional art and dance and even offering sharp sociopolitical commentary, "Madame X" is an absurd yet vibrant portrait of contemporary society.

While Lucky Kuswandi's debut film is an entertaining comedy, it also addresses the pressing social issues of the day for the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender community in Indonesia.
