Mountain of GoldRating: 3.5/5 (with 11 vote)
Hanyut (Drifting) is a Malaysian adventure drama film written and directed by U-Wei Haji Saari based upon Joseph Conrad's 1895 novel, Almayer's Folly. The movie tells the story of Almayer, a Dutch trader struggling to survive in Malaya at the turn of the 19th century. Almayer's dream of finding a mythical gold mountain is at odds with his plotting wife, colonial authorities, the political machinations of a local chief with Arab traders, and his daughter's love for a freedom-fighting Malay prince. The film was originally planned to be released after its completion in 2012. However, the release was postponed since December 2013 due to lack of promotional funding, in which director U-Wei had to request for RM 2 million from National Film Development Corporation Malaysia for marketing and local distribution purposes. It managed to get selected screenings in 150 cinemas across Indonesia in November 2014 under the name of Gunung Emas Almayer (Almayer's Golden Mountain). The film was eventually released in Malaysian cinemas on 24 November 2016, as told through a press conference on 13 October of the same year. ()
