When it comes to good fashion, it often feels like menswear is in short supply compared to women, with limited options that are either too pricey or too similar to stand out.

★★★★☆ Review: Supernova dir. Harry Macqueen

Look to the stars to guide you. While Colin Firth and Stanley Tucci have both played gay characters across their illustrious careers, never have they starred in a film together as lovers. All that changes with Harry Macqueen’s Supernova, where the two play a couple who go on a life-changing road trip. Like its title connotes, the film opens with a shot of stars in the … Continue reading ★★★★☆ Review: Supernova dir. Harry Macqueen

★★★★☆ Review: 王命 Oedipus by Nine Years Theatre

Pride and politics. It’s hard to imagine that a Greek play from 429 BC would have any relevance in modern day Singapore, but as Nine Years Theatre has shown time and again, there is good reason why the classics are still read even today. Directed and adapted by Cherilyn Woo (and translated to Mandarin by Huang Suhuai), Nine Years Theare (NYT) opens their 2021 season … Continue reading ★★★★☆ Review: 王命 Oedipus by Nine Years Theatre

Review: SIDES 2020 by Frontier Danceland

Dance films provide a closer look at the human psyche and its effects. Owing to its abstract nature, dance has been the art form that has most benefitted from transitioning to film during the pandemic. With Sides 2020, Frontier Danceland continues their exploration of the medium, with two brand new works recorded on film by Koo Chia Meng and streamed online, not only showcasing strong ensemble work … Continue reading Review: SIDES 2020 by Frontier Danceland
