When a movie is titled “?”, what is it called?  Is it the symbol?  Is it the words “question mark”? Or, is it just the desire for knowledge and answers?  It is this and other questions that Festive Fans encounter on a visit to explore the rich vibrancy of the world’s largest island nation -- Indonesia.  We review a complicated film that has violence, anger, and prejudice, but also displays compassion, faith and brotherhood -- much like the country itself.  

The Festive Fans discover many such contradictions in this land of volcanos and earthquakes, in a place where you can find the true spirit of Christmas among the world’s largest Muslim population.  The movie is a challenging story for holiday viewing.  It is based on real-life events and without a happy ending.  It is a fair examination of human frailties and the stress of different religions living together in a tightly-knit community.  ? presents an honest assessment of the multi-cultural Indonesian society with its more than 245 million citizens and over 17,000 islands.  But don’t despair, we also enjoy their unique Christmas traditions, music and culinary delights!
