Keronchong for Keronchong for Pak Bakar

Hey, I figured I'd put up a link to my Flickr set of shots from Keronchong for Pak Bakar, a documentary directed by Abdul Nizam Hamid about the award-winning cinematographer of the P. Ramlee movies in the Golden Age of Singapore cinema, now working as a gardener and living in a tiny HDB flat.



I especially like how this shot contrasts the two styles of filmmaking. Clear classic aesthetics versus postmodern blur.

Definitely not all of them were. From what I've read, it's possible that none of them were (except the owner).
