How Funny (This Country Is) by actor/director Deddy Mizwar, is the Indonesian entry to the 83rd Academy Awards for Best Foreign Language Film.  It is a decently made social satire about street life in Indonesia with some pretty funny moments.  However I think this film has limited appeal to an international audience.
