Whilst celebrating this new #Malaysian #film for crossing cultural boundaries, let us not forget the great film director from #Malaysia Yasmin Ahmad, who died too early imho. #YasminAhmad already explored cross cultural themes in her wonderfully intimate films from 2004's #Sepet to her finale #Talentime in 2009. Every single one of her six films are gems to be savored.🎬🎦 #MustWatch #MustShare #filmastodon #filmlover
