Abstract
This paper examines a contemporary Indonesian horror film, Rizal Mantovani's Air Terjun Pengantin (2009) in regards to its visual representation of gender. The film allegorically highlights the contention between the contemporary Indonesian discourses on gender and the New Order gender politics. In particular, this paper explores two elements of gender performativity: body images and sexuality. Significantly the film incorporates elements of horror that inform the film's distinct use of allegory and engagement with issues of problematic Indonesian gender construction. The paper employs Judith Butler's sense of gender performativity to analyze the film's use of representation of sexuality. As the result, the film shows how the idea of gender materializes between the undying paternalistic and misogynistic Indonesia and the contemporary Indonesian gender discourses.
