Sepet 2004
Sepet is the only Malaysian film which I can watch countless times and still be moved and inspired in the most genuine and loving ways. The late Yasmin Ahmad is a true Malaysian gem. And the story of Orked and Jason will forever live on. This time around watched this film with a small movie club and we had a wonderful exchange and discussion after.

The Last Dance 2024
Despite being a little preachy and quote-y (the norm in Chinese-language film writing), it is a rare gem of recent Hong Kong cinema with a daring take on the themes of death and traditions. It is also an earnest and moving depiction of relationship dynamics, as well as a thought-provoking social commentary on the Hong Kong society. A fascinating combo of Dayo Wong and Michael Hui as comedians acting in dramatic roles. The MPV is Michelle Wai as the heart of the narrative. Also, it is a very well shot and paced film, with gorgeous cinematography and assuring editing and direction.

Love Letter 1995
Shunji Iwai’s classic is a melodramatic romantic comedy that pulls sentimental heartstrings of nostalgia and a bygone era of writing letters, or a ‘love’ letter in this case. It’s a timeless crowd pleaser.
