Michelle Yeoh’s success masks struggle of Malaysian film industry

10 Mar 2023  |  www.aljazeera.com  |  English  |  Film Industry Challenges

Michelle Yeoh's historic win at the Screen Actors Guild Awards has sparked a debate on inclusion in Malaysia's film industry, which faces challenges due to its ethnic diversity and fragmented market. The National Film Development Corporation Malaysia (FINAS) was established to support local films, but box office success is often influenced by ethnic majority preferences. Minority filmmakers have found success abroad, and streaming services like Netflix are helping local films reach wider audiences. Censorship remains an issue, with some films facing bans. Industry insiders call for more support and inclusivity to help Malaysian cinema thrive without the need for talent to go overseas.

Review | Halloween Night 'The best of the trilogy'

12 Sept 2023  |  cabanadoleitor.com.br  |  Portuguese  |  Film Review

Halloween Night is the third film adapted from Agatha Christie's books, directed by Kenneth Branagh and featuring Michelle Yeoh and Tina Fey. Set in Venice, the film follows retired detective Hercule Poirot, played by Branagh, as he investigates a medium during a séance on Halloween. The film diverges from the original book, which may confuse avid readers, but maintains a well-knotted mystery and suspense. The cast's synergy contributes to the dramatic and suspenseful atmosphere, with standout performances by Branagh and Yeoh. Despite lackluster ghost effects, the cinematography captures Venice's beauty and the setting of an old mansion. The film is recommended for fans of investigative suspense films and previous adaptations of Christie's work, and is set to release in cinemas on September 14, 2023.
