Malaysian movies are only getting better and better over the years with many getting to the international stage, with the latest winning a best feature film award!
Malaysian film The Garden of The Evening Mists has just won best feature film at the Asian Academy Creative Awards (AACA) after its release in Malaysia early this year!
The Malaysia-Singapore co-production movie won the award after beating four other films in the category alongside the Korean drama series Crash Landing On You that won best drama series at the AACA.
The film starring Angelica Lee Sinje, Hiroshi and Abe Sylvia Chang is based on the novel of the same name by Malaysian novelist Tan Twan Eng and was nominated for multiple awards at the 56th Golden Horse Awards and won Best Makeup & Costume Design!
The movie follows the story of a survivor of an internment camp who develops a budding romance with a Japanese gardener in post-World War II Malaysia.
Astro Shaw and HBO Asia produced the film adaptation with full support from the National Film Development Corporation Malaysia (FINAS) in association with CJ Entertainment,
“Our gratitude also goes out to the novelist Tan Twan Eng who won the 2012 Man Asian Literary Prize for the novel which the film had been adapted from. Thanks to Richard Smith for the perfect script, to the cast Lee Sin-je, Hiroshi Abe and Sylvia Chang,” said Astro Shaw and Nusantara head Raja Jastina Raja Arshad.
