“Sudjana Kerton is storyteller, actor, commentator and biographer in one. His lively expression change constantly and his voice changes register according to whom he is imitating. Above all, his memory is sharp for the details that makeup an event, a fact which facilitates his style of working from images in the mind. One thing that most people do not remember, or care to talk about, is the swagger and lack of understanding for the reality of war that many young men exhibit when faced with it. But Kerton has never hidden or glossed over what he sees- something which has saved his art from becoming sweet or sentimental.”
