Mat ¾ (Mat Tiga Suku)

1964 · 1h 55m · Comedy

If you're in the mood for surreal, absurdist comedy that doesn't take itself seriously, this Malaysian oddity about a daydreaming poor man and his talking house could be a wild, weird ride—but only if you dig experimental humor and don't need a coherent plot to have fun.

Plot

”Tiga suku”, which literally translates into “three quarters”, is a Malay term used in the context of describing crazy, whacky or oddball-like behaviour; of being mentally “not quite there”. And “Mat Tiga Suku” is indeed an eccentric film that seeks to subvert our usual sense of logic, decorum and good taste. In this film, Mat Sentul is a poor and helpless man, lives in a house that talks to him, and daydreams about wealth and pretty princesses. It is an episodic adventure that follows the slapstick antics of Mat Sentul who, among many pranks, moves the bus-stop at his will, halts an aeroplane that does not give way, and pretends to be an office worker, a barber and a doctor.
