Pisau Cukur (Malay: "Razor Knife", but also metaphorically "Gold Digger") is a 2009 Malaysian comedy-drama film directed by Bernard Chauly, which is his first comedy after his 2005 blockbuster break-out drama Gol & Gincu. It stars popular Malaysian actresses Nur Fazura and Maya Karin, and also Singaporean actor Aaron Aziz.[3]
Plot
"Pisau Cukur" is about two best friends Bella (Maya Karin) and Intan (Nur Fazura) who goes on a vacation in a cruise ship. During the vacation, Bella searches for a rich husband, while Intan is involved in a murder case of a well known Datuk.
Development
A collaboration by Red Films and Primeworks Studios, the movie is written by Rafidah Abdullah (host of TV3's teen-oriented current affairs programme 3R and writer for Gol & Gincu). She has contributed towards a movie that is bound to create controversy among certain quarters. However, as the good director has told the press: "People should watch and value the movie themselves because a quality movie will go beyond the superficial elements and entertain nevertheless." [4]
