SEPI (2008)
Just finished watching this malay movie, Sepi, and boy, this is really a GOOD movie!! One of the best malay movie I've ever seen. I was hooked for the entire 2 hours period of the movie. The casts are star-studded which include Afdlin Shauki, Vanida Imran, Nasha Aziz, Tony Eusoff and many more.
The structure of the movie follows much like, Crash (2005), but in this case there are three individuals in the city learning the meaning of love, loss and loneliness. Adam, a successful young chef, creates confectionery masterpieces for weddings, yet has still to find his own bride. Then there is Sufi, who each day runs for miles in an attempt to outrun the memories of his dead wife. Finally, there is Imaan, a young playwright who discovers that theatre is a stage of where her past is finally resolved and her future is unveiled. All three strangers are inevitably linked to a single dramatic moment that transforms their lives forever. [adapted from yahoo movies]
What made it a great movie for me was that the plot(s) are so freakingly touching that they touched my raw nerves, not once, not twice but several times throughout the movie!! There's a few twists here and there too which made it further interesting! I'm not sure whether it has came out/will come out in singapore though, cos I'm not that familiar with the malay movie industry.. hahaa.. but it's a highly recommended movie if you've havent watched! Just prepare a couple of tissues though, just in case.. haha..
I'll end this post with a poetry from the film and it's just so beautiful!
Bisikku pada bulan, kembalikanlah temanku, kekasihku dan syurgaku.
Tanpa dia, malam menemaniku, sepi memelukku.
Bulan, jangan biar siang, biar alam ini kelam,
Biar ia sepi, sepertiku.
