25. The last communist (2006)


Country:  Malaysia
Directed by Amir Muhhamad

Banned in Malaysia , the film gives at beginning the impression that is about Chin Peng, the ex leader of Malaysian communist party. Soon we realize that Chin Peng is rather an excuse for the director to connect a past that is kind of taboo in Malaysia with the present without taking sides .The last communist' is a very interesting movie that plays with the historical documentary, the musical, the filmed cultural journey, the indirect political essay .At the end is none of them: as often with the movies of Muhhamad what you receive is a complex reality that celebrates the diversity of his country
