THE BEAUTIFUL WASHING MACHINE
(Malaysia, 2004) Dir./Scr.: James Lee
Teohís second hand washing machine has a life of her own:
she washes when she wants to and stops when she feels like it. When
Teoh discovers the secret soul of this temperamental slave, he exploits
her for all his other household chores. And then he pimps her out
to strangers. When middle-aged widower Mr. Wong takes her in, his
prodigal son immediately tries to seduce her, while his petulant
daughter becomes more and more suspicious. In this off-kilter dark
comedy, the effects of alienation and desperation in the increasingly
commodified city of Kuala Lumpur will spiral before you like a dry
spin in slow motion.
Video, 113 minutes, Color, Narrative
