Watch Bunohan: Return to Murder For Free

not as good as all the hype

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Bunohan is a fascinating insight into the reality of life and culture of rural communities that are so bound by tradition and superstition. It's a story of the conflict between three brothers - who are separated from earlier in their life, who develops personality so different from each other. These brothers then was dragged back home by their destiny, each with their own agenda and thus became an analogy of the contradiction between modernity and tradition in the daily life in a rural community.Between blood relations, lust, greed, revenge, heritage and memories of the past, all of these elements are mixed, giving rise to the turn of events by the multi-dimensional characters in this film that leads into the narrative climax.

i just watched this movie and for me its very impressive touch by Dain Said. i never thought that a Malaysian will ever produced this kind of quality, deep feeling. when i watched this movie, i reminds me of Alejandro González Iñárritu for Babel, Coen Brothers for No Country for Old Men and Paul Thomas Anderson for there will be blood. This is really not a typical David Teo movie with no meaning and there no feel to it. i really recommend this movie. They Dain Said managed the actors to projected their deep and dark side is impressive. the storyline, the camera moves, the screenplay and everything just right. I'm proud that this movies produced by local filmmaker. hope Dain said will produce another great project after this.

In my list of Malay movies, I only have a few movies that I remember making strong impact on me personally. Movies that made me talk about it for weeks, movies I repeatedly recommend to everyone. Bunohan made it to the list alongside Kaki Bakar, Dari Jemapoh ke Manchestee and surprisingly, Khabir Bhatia's Cinta.I should applaud the director who unburied the best of the actors. Pekin Ibrahim should be lauded for making a character so typical so convincing. Familiar names like Faizal Hussein and Zahiril known to be good actors delivered something extraordinary not only to the viewers' eyes but also piercing to the heart.I like to put Bunohan on the same level as There Will be Blood in term of the emotions projected. Bunohan doesn't offer beautiful scenery to help its beautiful cinematography but instead it uses beautiful cinematography to create a powerful mood.I feel like I'm having such a limited film vocabulary to do justice to Bunohan. But suffice to say that I can see the bright future of Malaysian film post-U-Wei Shaari.

This film is the mark of reborn of Malaysian film industry.After a LOT of total disgusting craps movie,Malaysian need this kind of film.a film that force viewer to think,read and feel the film.This film is not as hard as some other viewers said.its not highly 'hard to understand'.the plot is easy actually.Bakar, a man with clean looks while his two brothers,Ilham and Adil with dirty look but as what happen in our real world,Black not always bad,white not always good.There was some great scene in this film that I like such as when Ilham dreams about something like pyramid.a great metaphor.This film's cinematography also will make art lovers smile and fulfilled their lust for art.Go watch this film
