Review: Chef – Bibimbap VS Chilli Crab by Resorts World Sentosa

From the creator of smash hit performances NANTA and Jump comes an all new collaboration between Korea and Singapore. Resorts World Sentosa presents Choi Chul Ki’s CHEF: Bibimbap VS Chilli Crab, a dance-comedy-musical extravaganza featuring a battle of culinary skills between two chefs.

Review: Ivanov by 5toMidnight

5toMidnight enters the local theatre scene with their debut performance: a local adaptation of Anton Chekhov’s Ivanov. The first in a planned five part series of a selection of Chekhov’s plays, 5toMidnight aims to bring Chekhov’s gritty social realism to a modern Singaporean audience while continuing to develop their skills and craft with each new production. In a sense, Lepark provides an interesting backdrop for the play. Utilizing … Continue reading Review: Ivanov by 5toMidnight

Review: Dying Laughing dir. Lloyd Stanton & Paul Toogood

Shot almost entirely in black and white, Dying Laughing is surprisingly serious for a documentary about comedians. Dying Laughing takes most of the major comedians in the business today, sits them down, and interviews them about what it truly means to be a comedian and the nature of their craft. As Chris Rock puts it in the opening shots, comedians are the ‘last philosophers’, and Dying Laughing breaks down the art … Continue reading Review: Dying Laughing dir.

Review: The Shepherd (El Pastor) dir. Jonathan Cenzual Burley

There’s always been something inherently heroic about a narrative of pastoral beauty and the encroaching enemies of construction and progress. The Shepherd, written and directed by Jonathan Cenzual Burley, is a fine, beautifully shot manifestation of that, and a stellar example of an exercise in cinematic pacing. The Shepherd opens with a gorgeous ten-minute sequence of the Spanish countryside, seen through the eyes of middle-aged shepherd and protagonist Anselmo (Miguel Martin), as … Continue reading Review: The Shepherd (El Pastor) dir. Jonathan Cenzual Burley

Review: After the Storm dir. Hirokazu Kore-eda

Hirokazu Kore-eda, in his 28 year film career, has established himself as the foremost master of Japanese realist cinema. From his beginnings in 1998’s After Life to more recent hits such as Our Little Sister (2015), Kore-eda’s films have always had the impeccable ability to draw out the quiet beauty of the mundane, and hit emotional high notes in the most surprising of ways. Dwelling just long enough … Continue reading Review: After the Storm dir. Hirokazu Kore-eda
