Catatan Si Emon

Emon (Ade Faisal), a rather spoiled, effeminate young man, falls in love with Prilly (Nurul Arifin), a model who, as it turns out, is having an affair with his father, Oom Eddy (Aom Koesman). Prilly is only really interested in getting a car and a house. She isn’t in love with Emon, but does enjoy his sense of humor. One day Emon catches his father with Prilly. His father begs Emon not to tell his mother. As time passes, it seems that Emon cannot get Prilly out of his mind. In the meantime, Emon’s discovery of her love affair with his father has woken Prilly up to the error of her ways, and she begins praying regularly and even apologizes to Emon. Emon then realizes that Prilly really wants to be with him. Happy ending.

Directed by Nasri Cheppy, Catatan Si Emon leans on a strong ensemble — Ade Faisal, Nurul Arifin, Aom Kusman — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 0.
