| Ice Kacang Puppy Love |
I was actually quite impressed with Ah Niu's directorial debut. Cliched storyline aside, the filmatography was impressive. The director's play with vibrant scenes and backdrops was notable, and it managed to bring the tropic's countryside to life, which is usually featured in drab in other films. I think the actors, apart from
already established Malaysian actress Sinje Lee, did a thumbs up performance that allows them to be distinguished as actors from their singer/songwriter persona. If this was meant to be a 'revival' for Malaysia's Chinese Film Industry (though i'd argue that it is a revival for Malaysian Film Industry, period, especially after the passing of Yasmin Ahmad), Ah Niu certainly nailed it. If this is where MFI is heading to, i'll put my two cents on it and rejoice and await for the bigger and better to come. Now, who says Malaysia Tak Boleh?
