About This Movie

So, 'Young and Married' is a quirky little comedy from '87 that dives into the complexities of a young couple trying to figure out their relationship. Joko, who’s got this palpable fear of women, and Lastri, the tough tomboy, create a unique dynamic that’s both amusing and a bit cringy at times. The pacing feels reflective of its era, with moments of awkwardness that mirror real life. It’s not just about the laughs; it tackles themes of intimacy and vulnerability in a very relatable way. The performances have this earnest quality - you can feel their struggles. The practical effects are minimal, but they don't need much to drive home the story. Overall, it’s an interesting snapshot of young love in a different cultural context.
