Family - Yasmin Ahmad for MCYS


Just found out that this MCYS infomercial was also by Yasmin Ahmad (other than the one where a widow speaks of her late husband's imperfections that made him perfect at his funeral). I remember seeing "Family" for the first time and was swept over by emotions (I cried, to be exact), and everytime it came on again after that, I'd turn away, or switch to a different channel. She was that good. In putting unabashed emotions on-screen that speak to the right spots in people's hearts, and draw a deluge of raw emotions from the audience in return.

Still can't believe we'll never have films like this anymore.
