Beautiful, interesting, incredible cinema.
A father and son wrestle with love in a small Malaysian fishing village. While the father looks up an old lover he should have married years ago, his son faces a romantic dilemma of his own…
The story of a doomed love triangle is told in expressive long takes and a carefully observed regionalism that few film artists could achieve. Woo Ming-jin captures the textures of repressed desire and the rhythms of rural life in a Malay fishing village with an entrancing tempo and nuance.
