Call if you Need Me
The story of two cousin brothers Ah Soon and Or Kia who grew up together in a small village. When they’re adults, Ah Soon got into debt collection business in the city and invites Or Kia to join him to expand his business. Or Kia met Ping who’s Ah Soon new girlfriend and somehow she may become the only person that will connect the two men. And as time passes we see the relationship of these two men become stronger and maybe they will finally understand each other more clearly. Avis du sélectionneur A year after the huge success of Malaysia’s horrific Hysteria, the new film by
James Lee, also producer and editor for Amir Muhammad and Tan Chui Mui,
siblings in Da Huang Pictures, is a gangster based film. Here, they are more
used to wearing flip-flops, shorts, T-shirts or football jerseys than luxurious
suits (Or Kia admits to Soon not knowing who is Zegna). If in the first half of
the movie the director sometimes manages nonsense with derision, James Lee
soon paves the way towards something more sinister, letting us guess that at
the local folklore table, each scene is like a card that falls and reveals more
clearly the game master’s growing desire and anxiety. The game’s rule could
be: at each table that we sit at (and there are many in the film), to endangers
the equilibrium since each person is first led to negotiate with himself and
what he wants and what he risks.
