	dandruff:: The Big Long Film Report (part 1)
		The short film “Roundabout” by Australian actor-turned-director Rachel Griffiths has simply the most effective and ingenious use of sound I have ever encountered in a film of any length.
		I enjoyed “Martha’s New Coat”, even if the story is not unusual — the story of a teenage girl looking for her father had been given the most sensitive treatment with excellent music and photography.
		My only criticism is the level of Chinese that has been used in the script — it seemed to me to be too elegant, too sophisticated, too clean to be conceivably used your average Malaysian-Chinese in a real dialogue.
