I agree, I think Yasmin’s best work is actually Mukhsin too. although I didn’t really see any of her post-Mukhsin films like Muallaf and Talentime.

Hi, YTSL,

I have no excuse for missing out on previous recommendations, and I apologize for that. I’ve only seen Talentime so far (and will see Rabun), but I am now very interested in her other films as well.

Hi Golden Rock –

Glad you think highly of TALENTIME but am surprised that it’s such a surprise movie for you. For one thing, it had previously screened at this year’s HK International Film Festival. For another, I’ve written loads re its director, the late Yasmin Ahmad.

Have you seen other movies by her? If not, I urge you to try to track them down. In particular, I actually rate SEPET and MUKHSIN more highly than TALENTIME. So… maybe I’ll see you at a screening of RABUN soon?
