U-Wei Haji Saari

Zuhir bin Haji Saari, known as U-Wei Haji Saari, was born on 13 May 1954 in Mentakab, in Pahang. He began as a director of television dramas, then moved into cinema: his first film released in cinemas, in 1996, provoked fierce controversy and won him the award for best direction at the Malaysian Film Festival. His films often return to outcasts who forge their own revenge. He holds the honorific title of Datuk and continues his career as a director and producer.
