Bunohan (2011)

Dain Said's extraordinary Kelantanese neo-noir, set in a border village of illegal gambling, muay thai fighting, and family destruction, is the most visually audacious Malaysian film of the 21st century. Shot in the lush borderlands of Kelantan with a Malay-language script of startling poetry, Bunohan announced Malaysian art cinema as a genuine force in the global festival circuit.
