I happened to watch The Red Kebaya on 30th Aug 2008 on tv2. A brilliant film I should say. I especially love Samantha’s role as that devil woman Davinia.She’s stunning too in blonde. But what gets me is the ending as I really wanted to watch how John, Azizah and Latiff get over Davinia and live happily together thereafter. Really, too much melancholy in a beautiful film kills the romantic mood. Anyways, cheers to the cast and crew for a unique film such as this. The Red Kebaya rules.

My goodness, Sam looks wonderful! I have not seen her since the late 80\’s and she\’s shining like a star I knew she\’d always be.
Please pass my love on to her.

Paul: Indeed.

tiNtin: haha Bob Mercer speaking Malay was funny, but .. erm… thatÂ’s how it goes what? IÂ’m sure we sound funny if we speak in a foreign language. You are right on the score and soundtrack. The last good sountrack for a local movie I heard was for Gol and Gincu. I still love the songs from the movie even till today But that one and this one different type lah, that one more happening, this one more nolstagic.

I asked Samantha Schubert if she wore a wig (cos there was a Â‘thank youÂ’ to a wig store thing in the credits) but she said no. I forgot what else she said, but something along the lines of discomfort hehe.

deena: hope you enjoy it

ZeMMs: Haha Remp-it. How was it? The next movie we want to watch is CICAKMAN. Yes I take back everything I said about CICAKMAN. I WANT TO WATCH CICAKMAN!!!!!!!!! the trailer was awesome

Foreign director doing a local movie. Not bad what. Hopefully can spur local directors/producers to come up with great stories.

zatil: yeap, i keep telling my friends it is going to be a slow movie, i thoroughly enjoyed it the second time i watched it.

I’m currently phobic when it comes to watching local movies. Just saw Remp-It and recently, Bilut. Both frustrated me. Today I went the cinema again.. thinking about watching a good movie. Red Kebaya came across my mind but slipped away just like that because I got scared if its also gonna turn out a disaster and that I’m gonna waste another 11 bucks. So i watched another movie instead. maybe I should’ve read your review first on Red Kebaya…

miss Suanie…u’ve said it all

i watched it yesterday with some friends who have been so dead annoying all throughout the movie!!! laughing n commenting, mostly on the Bob Mercer’s funny accent speaking Malay. haiyya…he was in character lah, how else should he sound? i’m so serious with my movies, i wld’ve had them kicked out of the cinema!
but then again, i was there on their invitation. so i got to another seat - a better one. i had like other 100 empty seats to choose from. so much for “supporting” the local movies.

oh ya really great score n soundtrack…best i’ve ever heard in a local movie so far…or maybe i haven’t watched enough? heheh..

but there was a glitch which to me is a huge factor for the eye-comfort of the audiences - the hair. i find it quite annoying to see John Reynold’s hair all stiff and funny. he seemed to can’t even touch it too much either. i’m assuming it’s a wig..? n Davinia’s hair is so obviously bleached, cldn’t they recolour? but at certain angles it looks quite nice tho - vintage
