MADRE, Tansen and Tan de Bakker

Today I went to theater and watched Madre without friends. It was really nice watch alone and had Me-Time.



Madre the movie adapted by Madre, a novelet authored by Dewi 'Dee' Lestari. I bought this book in early 2012.



I love every single what she's written. It's not so ordinary. You always find and have untold reason why she's become your favorite writer. All books and songs she wrote are MAGIC! So deep yet it's not like common romantic. It's romantic in different way. Touch your heart and you can feel it and then..drawning. It poured with science. hm.

What is Madre? Madre (Spanish) is Mother. In this movie, Madre is a kind of sourdough. It made by Tan Sie Gie, Tansen's grandfather. It has not touched by anyone after maker passed by. And in his testament, he wants his grand children living Madre and Tan de Bakker again.

What is Tan de Bakker? It's their bakery name. So popular in 1960s and left behind after that time because so many new bakery develop with modern machine in their kitchen. For this film, an old building at Braga Street, Bandung was reused and made just like old bakery. Old bakery from 60s. :)

Who is Tansen? Tansen roled by Vino G. Bastian. Like I already said, he is a grandchild of Madre maker. His mother passed by after giving birth to him, her daddy left when he was 7 years old, lived with Uwak who ex worker in Tan de Bakker. After Uwak passed by, Tansen live freely with wave. He's a surfer, design freelancer and blogger! For this film, his site was built as SANG PENCARI OMBAK.

What's next? You want to know what's next? He fell in love with Mei (Laura Basuki), his blog fan and very interest to buy unsell-Madre. And then...

NEXT?! Haiyaaa..

Go watch it- lah! :p



  • Laura Basuki is so beautiful. I adore her. Simple, sweet, and feminine. I love all her wardrobe in this movie!
  • Vino's hair, it's so unnatural. Just like, Ok fine, Let's have a wig. Hmm.


Overall, this film so entertaining included Mr.Hadi (Didi Petet) with his 'He eh?!' He's so funny in this film.

0 - 5 stars. Give 2,6!
