THE AWARD-WINNING film adaptation of Penangite Tan Twan Eng’s The Garden of Evening Mists – now showing in Malaysian cinemas – entangles protagonists Teoh Yun Ling, the lone survivor of a brutal Japanese wartime camp, and Nakamura Aritomo, an exiled former gardener of the Japanese emperor, in a cross-cultural romance set amid troubling times on the Malayan peninsula.
It is a visual poem expressing both turmoil and tranquillity.
