cuak (2013). directed by khairil m. bahar, lim benji, manesh nesaratnam , shamaine othman & tony pietra


i think it is good that malaysian film makers are moving out of the tried and tested themes of "malay movies" and are racing to "malaysian movies". this film tells the story of a cold feet couple on the verge of marriage, told by 5 different directors from 5 different perspectives. that's all good - i think the plot is interesting with lots of quips on social issues, however, i wasn't able to fully enjoy it because the lighting and more importantly the audio - was so bad! i watched it on astro first, i had to turn up the volume so high but still can't make what tony eusoff was mumbling about. ok i could be a bit deaf but i can make out hollywood movies on normal volumes so i think they really need to work on that. 

it is actually important to have good audio so that audience can understand the story line.
