#GadisKretek #NetflixID #CigaretteGirl #Indonesia
As the first and number one TV series in Indonesia ????, Gadis Kretek(Cigarette Girl) must be familiar to Netflix fans. Gadis Kretek(Cigarette Girl) is a television series ?? that officially launched on Netflix on November 2nd, 2023. This series stars Dian Sastrowardoyo, Ario Bayu, Putri Marino, and Arya Saloka ???. Based on a novel ?? with the same title, this five episode film is set in the Indonesian tobacco industry ?? and is closely related to the history of the country.
This series utilizes two distinct time periods: 2001 and the 1960s. Set against the backdrop of the 1960s, "Cigarette Girl" (Gadis Kretek) showcases the linguistic styles of the era, which differ from modern-day expressions. The visual presentation is grounded in realism, further immersing viewers in the setting. To achieve this authentic atmosphere, the director meticulously constructed over 100 sets across 20 different locations, transporting the audience back to the 1960s.
Instead of premiering in Indonesia, Gadis Kretek or in English "Cigarette Girl" premiered at the 2023 Busan International Film Festival in South Korea. ????
