Interchange (2016)
7/10
Cross Cultural Viewing
1 May 2021
Malaysian cinema. It reveals that Southeast Asian culture is a mix of both East and West; as the dialogue switches from Malay to English throughout the film. The filmmaker is a student of American cinema, as he uses elements reminiscent of Hitchcock, and Noir. The Indonesian film, Yasmine shows the heavy influence of Islam in this part of the world. But this film seems to be more akin to Pinoy cinema; as American influence is evident. Parts are slow; some of the prosthetics are bad, and it would be worth about five stars if it was an American or Chinese film. But the cultural training we receive in viewing this little tale give it two more stars. Seen on Tubi, the free streaming site.
