People talking, sucking their cigarette and spending their time starring at their computer’s screen just to wait until the rain ended. Mas Islah, one of Walhi’s Campaigner keep talking about the water crisis and alternate energy which can be substituted by water.  Mas Mariyo, the other campaigner was sucking his cigarettes and stealing his friend’s coffee when he ran it out, literally, actually, he’s typing seriously onto his laptop, working on the financial report.  The other man, I didn’t know his name,  chatting solemnly as if he’s a Kabareskrim. I believe he’s about mocking the former Kabareskrim, Susno Duadji.

People keep talking and typing and now, mocking each other. The reason, I believe, still the same, waiting until the rain ended.  Nobody saw other’s face when they’re talking. They keep starring onto their laptop and computer’s screen while throwing jokes about the national affairs, or at least, their pathetic friend who came back home earlier. They deemed that, it supposed to be a silly journey home, wet look, like a jargon of a popular hair gel.  the rain still pouring hard.

when it rains,

They keep talking and typing and mocking each other.

When it rains,

I singing in the rain

Film berbahasa Itali besutan sutradara Maria Tognazzi, L’uomo Che Ama (The Man Who Loves), ini bertema cukup sederhana, tentang cinta. Namun, titik beratnya berada pada perspektif seorang pria. Roberto (Pierfrancesco Favino), yang disibukkan oleh rutinitas menjadi seorang apoteker, harus melewati masa-masa sulit ketika pasangannya, Sara (Kseniya Rappoport) meninggalkannya. Pria itu tidak pernah menduga bahwa Sara akan berpaling darinya. Hal itu membuat Roberto putus asa, ia bahkan mengalami insomnia akut sepeninggalan Sara. Satu-satunya tempat aman yang dituju Roberto di masa  suramnya adalah rumah adiknya, Carlo (Michele Alhaique).

Roberto merasa percintaan adiknya, lebih menyenangkan, meski ia seorang gay. Padahal apa yang terlihat tidak selalu seperti kenyataan. Carlo harus mengorbankan cintanya demi kebahagiaan pasangannya. Ia merasa hidupnya tidak lama lagi. Ketika pembahasan tentang cinta dalam film ini masih berkelebat, kemunculan Alba (Monica Bellucci) makin mewarnai kisah. Kurator seni itu menjadi pacar baru Roberto, tapi ternyata keberadaannya tidak juga membuat hidup Roberto lebih berarti ketimbang bersama Sara. Pria itu akhirnya memutuskan hubungannya dengan Alba dan kembali menjalani hidupnya seperti biasa: menderita insomnia dan merindukan kehadiran Sara lagi. Seperti yang disebut-sebut dalam beberapa resensi tentang film ini, Roberto menjadi korban sekaligus pelaku dalam  percintaannya. (more…)
