TITLE: TASK 6; AUTEUR CRITISM


TALENTIME & SEPET


Yasmin Ahmad known as a film director, writer and scriptwriter. Yasmin Ahmad was a Leo Burnet Kuala Lumpur creative director. Her tv commercial and films are popular in Malaysia for their comedy and touching. According to auteur criticism, Yasmin Ahmad would be one of the best director that can be considered as an auteur. Her films mis-en-scene revolves around the same theme as  aesthetic styles which are the recurrences and similarities of the mood or colour tone. She has produced several films such as Mualaf, Mukhsin, Sepet and talentime. Yasmin Ahmad usually like to produced a film which exposed culture and nationality
For this study I would like to choose Sepet and Talentime as my examples, which are both film highlighted the race in Malaysia. Talentime is a film to find a talented person while there’s still have other character which are dumb and in Sepet shows the love birds which have different religion.
Next, in the film, Yasmin Ahmad was very picky with the dialog she always used the poetry language that shows the Malay culture which are polite. As we can see, for both film the theme must be in village, school and old house or any street that must be popular to attract people watch the film.
