Just finished watching director Tan Chui Mui's dvd Love Conquers All. It's a story of how a kampung girl(Coral Ong) went to work in a city as mixed rice seller. She met the pimp(Stephen Chua) who use the same cool excuse(owing some other people money, need urgent cash) to lure her into the prostitution business. This movie goes along with a very slow pace, from beginning till the end. Personally, I feel that it could be better if they slot in more music into the movie.Cinematography is not bad. However there's a cute acting by Mei(Leong Jiun Jiun) who spend her free time after doing homework to write to her penpal. And the funniest part is she actually asked her mom to sent her by bike to D'sara Kim to take a peek at her penpal..wakakakaBehind the scene production team is the very powerful team of Amir Muhammad(producer), James Lee(director of photography) and Ho Yu Hang(Editor). This film has also won numerous awards including: GRAND PRIZE CITY OF LISBON, GOLDEN DIGITAL AWARD(31st Hong Kong International Film Festival), OIKOCREDIT AWARD, 21st Fribourg International Film Festival, VPRO TIGER AWARD, 36th International Film Festival Rotterdam, NEW CURRENTS AWARD, 11th Pusan International Film Festival, FIPRECSI AWARD, 11th Pusan International Film Festival.
