Bunohan makes a killing


Action!: The Bunohan movie crew recording a scene as Faizal Hussein, who plays Ilham, goes in for the kill with his ‘lawi ayam’.

The film is Kelantanese, Malay, Malaysian yet global all at the same time. It is both intimate and epic. When the storytelling is this good, it transcends all boundaries.

BUNOHAN (murder) is a place — a small kampung — in Kelantan. It’s also an extraordinary film — a mix of Muay Thai, Shakespearean tragedy and the Coen Brothers — directed by Dain Said and released earlier this year.
