Our take

Jimi Asmara is Erma Fatima’s homage to the films made at Jalan Ampas Studio during the 1950s and 1960s, a golden age for Malaysian cinema. A beguiling love story with a terrific score by Khairil Azli, this eloquent retelling of P. Ramlee’s Antara Dua Darjat is a forgotten classic, newly remastered.
