Editorial Review:
Amazon.com essential video:
Guy Hamilton (Mel Gibson) is a hungry young journalist from Australia who's just taken an assignment as foreign correspondent in politically unstable Indonesia to break out of a long stint in the newsroom at home. Upon arrival he is immediately befriended by the wonderfully intriguing Billy (Linda Hunt), a photographer who compiles files on his friends, finding solace from the chaos of political and economic upheaval by manipulating what he can in his life. Billy, who likes Guy for the inexplicable reasons that draw people to one another, helps him to get the break that he desperately longs for. The break makes him as a journalist, and the wave of confidence that it generates carries him into the seduction of Jill Bryant (Sigourney Weaver), an English diplomat who's leaving the country too soon to justify an affair. She succumbs, however, luckily for us, for the scenes of their passionate trysts are intense and exciting in a fresh young way. As the political situation begins to unravel, however, Guy is forced to yield his journalistic idealism to a forced acknowledgment of reality. An intriguingly complex and moving film from Peter Weir. --James McGrath

Having lived in Asia for almost two decades and having traveled extensively in Indonesia I found this little movie a surprising marvel. Whether it was supported by perfect research I am not to judge (doubt most of those who do should either) but it is a rare mainstream depiction of a part of the world hardly ever covered. The acting is excellent not the least Linda Hunts interpretation of Billy was Oscar material.
I wish Hollywood would spend a bit of the resources put into movies like ... Read More

This is one of my all-time favorite films. I recall seeing this as a student of international relations, absolutely fascinated that recent history - the end of Sukarno's regime in Indonesia - could actually form the backdrop of a film that portrays a personal and political dilemma to the viewer. It is not only a great romantic story, but also gets the viewer to think as well as learn about a historical period.

I was worried, but it turned out to be a great movie. Arguably one of Mel Gibson's better performances.

Based on the book by C.J.(Christopher) Koch who studied with Wallace Stegner at Stanford's creative writing program as did Ken Kesey, Scott Turow, and Larry McMurtry, among others. Loosely based on the life of Koch's brother who was an Australian journalist based in Indonesia during the 1960's. Directed by Peter Weir; starring Mel Gibson and Sigourney Weaver.

Different from Mad Max and all the rest of Gibson's apocolyptic movies, "The Year of Living Dangerously" is a wonderful period piece that really develops its characters. Linda Hunt is obviously the standout in this production and her "Billy" is really the unhearlded star of this film. There are a number of actors who could have portrayed Guy Hamilton as well or better than Gibson did and Sigourney Weaver's character is little more than "love interest". Having said that, Gibson's and Weaver's roles ... Read More
