Adapting “The Importance of Being Earnest” in a Malaysian setting is not exactly the easiest thing to do, but Al Jafree Md Yusop’s effort also stumbled upon a number of issues, including financial ones and the pandemic, which in the end resulted in the film forgoing theatrical release, instead streaming on Mubi, in a practice that seems to gain more and more traction as time passes. Let us see what it is all about however.
“Mencari Rahmat” is streaming on Mubi Malaysia
The story revolves around two men, Razak and Azman.

“Poetry doesn’t belong to those who write it, but those who need it.”
– Mario Ruoppolo in Il Postino.
It’s not easy to read a film. One can over-read, under-read, or even misread it; but all readings are important towards building discourse, which is the first step towards appreciating any form of art. Although lately in film discourse, we’re bogged down by a new type of reading. Born from the womb of social media and raised by pedants – film reviews and/or criticism tend to over-focus on perceived cinematographic mistakes, plot-holes, or even misunderstanding intertextual tropes based on how “real” the scene or moment is to the point of rejecting the symbolic. “Realness” is being constructed as the line between a good and a bad film. We are living in an age where metaphors are dying, being killed by literal reading.
