Review of Sepet

Sepet (2004)
10/10
A classic love story between a Chinese VCD seller and a sweet Malay girl ...
5 March 2005
This classic love story between a Chinese VCD seller and a Malay girl embodies both the spirit and passion of Malaysia. Suitably tag-lined "One Chinese boy, one Malay girl, one unforgettable love story", this beautiful movie captures the love between two individuals from very different worlds and presents them to us, the awaiting audience -- and it has managed to have us begging for more.

Sepet is different from many Malaysian films because it is truly 100% Malaysian in the sense that there is hardly any Western influence in the producing and directing. The jokes were hilarious, the actors were excellent and Yasmin Ahmad has indeed did it again! Sharifah Amani was an excellent Orked while Ng Choo Seong wasn't too shabby as Jason a.k.a Ah Loong as well. Harith Iskandar and Ida Nerina were hilarious at playing Orked's parents and Adibah Noor was an amazing Kak Yam.

A definite must watch!
