Just to list its achievements so far: in April, it became the first Malaysian film to receive top honours at Italy’s Far East Film Festival, clinching a total of three awards; last month, one of the film’s main stars, Taiwanese actor Wu Kang-ren, won Best Actor at the Golden Horse Awards in Taipei.
