One of my all time favorites:
The Year of Living Dangerously (1983)
An impassioned love affair is underway with the backdrop of revolution in Indonesia. This gripping thriller is filmed amid the tropical winds and political turmoil of a toppling Third World regime.
Starring: Mel Gibson, Sigourney Weaver, Linda Hunt, Bembol Roco
Director: Peter Weir
