It sounded a little bit hard sale with the title and yes,(!) I want you to watch this movie. Year Without A Summer by Tan Chui Mui, a local independent director, currently mon patron :)
The film traveled to many places, overseas, first in Pusan, Rotterdam, Australia, US, all the continents, and now it's back to its homeland - Malaysia! I wish I was a film, or a tape, gets to travel everywhere!
It will be screened in TGV KLCC from 24th - 30th April 2011, followed by peninsular tour in major cities : Penang, JB and Kemaman Terengganu, the location nearest to the set of the film. I get to travel too this time!
This image was the design of the film postcard. I like it very much,
so does some postcrosser who vote it as their favourite postcard.
I first watch this film in the cinema was during my working trip to International Film Festival of Rotterdam.
Working on the subtitles, I have actually viewed this film for many times, in the PC of course. However, the experience in the cinema was a total difference, with a better sound and image (persuading..). Azam is one of the main character in the film who keeps running away from the current and real life. It resembles a period in my working life, which I experienced few months back, while at the same time, looking at some points of my life, I do the same as Azam. I think many people tend to run away when problem comes right into the face. The realization of myself running and chasing my tail has helped me live better, at least I wake up and head to work in a happier and lighter mood.
Attention : this is an arty film, poetic, slow but meaningful (to me, as it mirrors my life). So, be prepared for a different cinematic experience.
Get the ticket and watch it! Oh ya, good news to students! It will be a free movie pass if you flash your valid student card at the counter in respective mentioned cinemas. Student reservation could be made by sending an email with the subject of ' YWS Student Screening ' to : winniechiangwn@gmail.com. Details to be included in the email are : date of screening, name, contact no and email.
Enough of the publicity.
My swimming time.
Have a great weekend!
