“19-year old Ah Loong is in charge of a stall selling pirated vcd’s. Contrary to what you might expect someone of his social standing to be, Ah Loong is an incurable romantic with an unlikely hobby – he loves to read and write poetry. Quite content to carry on being the Romeo of the slums, Ah Loong’s life takes a sudden turn one day when a 16-year old Malay schoolgirl arrives at his stall in search of Wong Kar-Wai’s films.”
Sepet, a film written and directed by Malaysian indie woman filmmaker Yasmin Ahmad, will enter the 48th San Francisco International Film Festival this Thursday (April 21), and will be screened at 6pm on next Saturday (April 30). This film combines an excellent theme, brilliant camera work, free flowing dialogue and relax acting, making it an entertaining feature film.
