Q&A with Boi Kwong & Jason Ho

One fateful night in Geylang, Singapore’s red-light district, a beautiful young prostitute’s sudden disappearance leads her foul-mouthed pimp, ragamuffin cigarette-seller boyfriend, and a local social-outreach lawyer on a gore-filled wild goose chase. As the proverbial damsel in distress and a nefarious bag of money are both chased around town, each of our antiheroes’ odysseys crosses paths in post-postmodern crime-pulp madness told in illuminating temporal shifts. The action is fast and mean with a profanely dark sense of humor matched by gratuitously macabre overtones. This is a wild pop-art genre joyride seething with the tropically hot melting pot flavors of Singapore put through a riotous Moebius strip of cinematic influences.
