Pengantin Pantai Biru (literally The Bridegroom of Blue Beach) is a 1983 film directed by Achmad Salim, produced by Ferry Angriawan, and starring Meriam Bellina and Sandro Tobing.
Adapted from Henry De Vere Stacpoole's novel The Blue Lagoon, via the film of the same name, Pengantin Pantai Biru introduces several differences to the story.
During a storm, the young man Andri (Sandro Tobing) is separated from his grandfather, Prof. Hasnan Rasyid (Abdi Wiyono), and ultimately drifts onto a deserted beach.
Pengantin Pantai Biru was directed by Wim Umboh - also known as Achmad Salim - and produced by Ferry Angriawan of Virgo Putra Film.
[3] Heider described the islanders in Pengantin Pantai Biru are "ignoble savages" and "barbarians", a portrayal of tribal peoples common in contemporary Indonesian cinema; he noted comparable portrayals in Intan Perawan Kubu (The Virgin of Kubu), which takes place in Jambi, and Dia Sang Penakluk (She, the Conqueror), which takes place amidst the Dani of West Papua.
