Sayang Wayang: Chantek (2012)

Posted: 02 Jul 2012 05:28 PM PDT

I couldn't get enough of the shockin non-chemistry in Gerimis Mengundang (2012) the other day, so I thought I'd endure another awkward Indonesian-Malaysian pairin that has the Malaysian half out-acted by leaps and bounds. Chantek (2012) is a resurgent Pierre Andre's vanity project that is fatally flawed (by his own admission) about a Malaysian actor who falls in love with his Indonesian help under bizarre, comical and frankly, quite outrageous circumstances. Don't we all wish we were someone's son, eh? Movie came and went, to the tune of just RM 100,000 at the Malaysian cinemas, accordin to the FINAS jokers. It played for just 12 days. Yikes.
Bad news on the doorstep:
Not content with his real life speech impediment, Pierre Andre plays a blind actor who develops a ridiculous sense of misogyny after an odd openin where he catches his lover (the nymphomaniac Zarina Anjoulie Lavocah) in bed with a cigar-chompin old man. His portrayal of a moody movie star is too self-absorbed and demandin for the audience, even before the introduction of his annoyin pondan manager (Chew Kin Wah in a cheesy gay role that must have Chinese homosexuals everywhere in disgust) or his titular Indonesian house servant Chantek (a resplendent Nurul Ekasari Rosihan Anwar). From there, it's Planet Plot Hole. Tell me if you actually make it to the twist.
Perennial wonderment:
Funny how the director, scriptwriter and actor Pierre Andre apparently went to Indonesia to cast Nurul out of some 700 hopefuls but she ends up trumpin him in the movie. The winsome 24-year-old newcomer has reportedly received more actin offers in Jakarta after showin producers this Malaysian movie. Bet it was just the trailer!
Watchin Pierre Andre and Fasha Sandha in the rom-com 9 September (2007).
"Nasi goreng gila? Kenapa nama makanan korang pelik-pelik? Tak boleh ke letak nama yang elok-elok? Nasi goreng sopan santun ke, nasi goreng Siti Nurhaliza ke?"
Amacam joker, berapa bintang lu mau kasi?
Obviously the film was badly edited to the point of story suicide.You feel sorry for movies like these. Sincerely hope Pierre Andre will eventually make a good movie one day. ★1/2
