Biography

Rahardjo was born in Serang, West Java (now Banten), on 21 January 1949.[1] He was the first of seven children born to Djarot Djojoprawiro, an air force officer, and Ennie Tanudiredja, a housewife interested in woodcarving.[2][3] Rahardjo spent most of his childhood in Yogyakarta, where he dreamed of becoming a visual artist.[3] However, after finishing high school at State Senior High School 2,[4] he attended the National Indonesian Theatre Academy (Akademi Teater Nasional Indonesia, or ATNI). During his studies at ATNI, he befriended Teguh Karya.[5] Together, the two founded the theatre group Teater Populer in 1968.[1]

Three years later, Teater Populer, working together with Sarinade Film, produced

Wadjah Seorang Laki-Laki (The Face of a Boy). Rahardjo was immediately cast in the lead role, while Karya directed the film; singer Laila Sari was cast as his love interest.[1][6] Two years later, Rahardjo starred in 1973's Cinta Pertama (First Love) alongside Christine Hakim; the two would later star as romantic leads in several other films, and in 2010 were selected as the second best Indonesian cinema couple by Tabloid Bintang.[7] After the success of Cinta Pertama, Rahardjo went on to play in 1975's Ranjang Pengantin (Wedding Bed), 1976's Perkawinan Dalam Semusim (A Season's Marriage) and 1977's Badai Pasti Berlalu (The Storm Will Surely Pass).[1] During this period, Rahardjo would only work for Karya; he reportedly left a dinner meeting immediately after another director asked him to act in a film, later telling Tempo that it was as if the director was borrowing a tape recorder, not considering how Rahardjo would feel.[3]

In 1979, Rahardjo made his directorial debut with Rembulan dan Matahari (The Moon and the Sun).[1] That same year, he played in November 1828; he also served as one of the film's production designers.[8] Two years later he directed Seputih Hatinya, Semerah Bibirnya (As White as the Heart, as Red as the Lips).[1] In 1982, he starred alongside Hakim in Di Balik Kelambu (Behind the Mosquito Net); the two played newlyweds living at the bride's parents home.[7] This was followed by several other directorial efforts, including Ponirah Terpidana (Ponirah is Convicted; 1984), Kembang Kertas (Paper Flowers; 1984), Kodrat (1985), and Kasmaran (Falling in Love; 1987).[1]

In 1988 Rahardjo played

Langitku, Rumahku (My Sky, My Home). The film, nominated for 9 Citra Awards at the 1990 Indonesian Film Festival, went on to win the Three Continents Festival that same year.[1] In 1997, after the collapse of Indonesian cinema, he starred in the musical drama Melangkah Di Atas Awan (A Walk in the Clouds). He portrays Sastro, Tita's husband who isn't rich.[10]

After Karya's death in 2001, Rahardjo took over as leader of Teater Populer.[11] The following year, he released Marsinah, a biopic of the workers' rights activist of the same name who was killed in 1993.[12]

In 2007, Rahardjo took the role of Siska's father in

Sang Penari (The Dancer), an adaptation of Ahmad Tohari's trilogy Ronggeng Dukuh Paruk.[15]
