Love Conquers All︱What does not kill you makes you stronger
|
|
Malaysian director Tan Chui Mui's first feature comes trailing an impressive collection of awards: first prizes from Pusan, Rotterdam and Hong Kong, to name a few. This ultra-low-budget narrative of a young woman's arrival in Kuala Lumpur feels both utterly fresh and completely inevitable. Its magic is to have found a way to show us what we've never quite noticed before: Tan's camera's patient, intense, intimate (dare one say specifically female-gendered?) way of looking exposes truths that, once we notice them, seem always to have been there, just underneath, practically hidden, until we adopt the film's and director's new ways of looking.

Love Conquers All
She opened the car door, looked out, hesistated.
Jumping is too painful. And it is dark ahead and it is dark behind. So she closed the door.
And then it is too late to jump anyway.
