Through my best friend, I discovered the greatness of Persian films. Leila (Google please, am too lazy to provide links) is one of my favorite movies. I applauded the director for brilliantly evoked a romantic emotions between husband and wife without the actor and actress making physical contact to each other. No sex scene was required and yet it was so sensual. That's genius to me. Being able to be creative even with limitations.
And that's why I don't totally agree with the local movie-making business. Some people worshiped this one particular lady director for being gutsy in her films. Her films are good at some point. But the way she portrays Islam is a bit misleading to me. And let's not get into her many,many sexual innuendos. Though not explicit, it could be so irksome. I don't really see the Eastern values or identity in her films anyway.
Prude, conservative, closed-minded, whateverla. That's just my humble opinion. And you should watch more Persian films!

Then you should watch Mualaaf. And what you think of that.
We're in the same boat.
I don't fancy her as well.
She should stick to produce ads and all, not movies.
No continuation in the cinematography. Only 'edited' scenes patched together.
Then again, just my opinion.
How about Thai movies? Care to watch?
Close to our Asian roots. Not the horror, of course.
