Are you a film junkie? Whether you like watching or making films, this is your chance to catch a variety of interesting films in the comfort of our upstairs lounge (desig...nated TV room for the night!). Anything from today's pop culture and mushy love stories to arty pieces and documentaries; you name it, we'll show it. Come eat, drink, be merry and... watch films! We'll even provide freshly-popped curry and seaweed popcorn for your munching pleasure. We reckon dinner beforehand at PP would be a good idea :)
This December, Tanah Licin (www.tanahlicin.com) + Palate Palette proudly presents a rare and exclusive free screening of Jogho by U-Wei Bin HajiSaari. Jogho (1997) is U-Wei Bin HajiSaari’s third feature film after local cult classics Perempuan, Isteri dan... (1993) and Kaki Bakar (1995).

Come join us! Screenings are free! And so is our popcorn!

TOTAL RUNNING TIME: Approx. 91 MINS
1997 / Malay / English Subtitles
Mamat is a native of Kelantan, Malaysia, but he had left Malaysia many years earlier to join his brother Lazim in South Thailand in order to continue making his living as a trainer of fighting bulls (a Jogho). This practice has been outlawed in Malaysia but continues in Thailand.
The story begins when Lazim is killed by Isa at the bullfighting arena. By tradition, this leaves Mamat and the young men with the responsibility of taking revenge and thus preserving the honor of the village. Mamat visits Kelantan and arranges for his friend Jaafar to find and kill the perpetrators. Returning home, Mamat is gored by his new bull and is bedridden for several days. At the same time Lazim's two sons and a friend have gone into the town and managed to kill Isa's son Hamdan and his assistant Dollah Munduk. After the killing, the young men hide and Mamat is arrested by the Thai police, leaving the women alone to manage not only the village affairs but also to care for the bull. From the jail, Mamat pleads with his wife to pay the bail so that he will be able to fight the new bull. He is at last freed on the morning of the bullfight.
At the bullfighting arena, Isa comes to avenge the death of his son. Isa shoots Mamat but miraculously misses his first shot and the second shot only manages to wound Mamat in the shoulder. Mamat wrestles the gun from Isa and knocks him to the ground. Now Mamat has the chance to kill Isa and avenge the death of Lazim, but Mamat refuses as he has become tired of Malays killing Malays. He lowers the pistol. But Lazim's son Sani grabs the gun and shoots Isa instead. The police come and Mamat surrenders himself to them, taking the responsibility for the murder. Although Mamat is taken away by the Thai police, the cycle of violence within the Malay community continues.
