- With his highly anticipated follow-up to his Camera d'Or-winning feature debut, TIFF '13 favourite Ilo Ilo, Singaporean writer-director Anthony Chen has crafted a double character study of uncommon delicacy.
Malaysia-born Ling (Yeo Yann Yann) teaches Mandarin at a Singapore high school where her subject is regarded as low priority. Ling's home life offers scant consolation: for eight years, she and her husband have been trying to conceive a child, and the process has eroded much of the tenderness they once shared. What's more, with her husband increasingly out of the house at all hours, Ling is left on her own to care for her ailing father-in-law.
An unexpected source of alleviation arrives in Ling's friendship with Wei Lun (Koh Jia Ler), the only student in her class to show real interest. Like Ling, Wei Lun feels neglected at home and, though he participates in competitive Wushu, he seems alienated by kids his own age. Wei Lun's youthful enthusiasm - accompanied by what appears to be an endearing crush - helps Ling weather a seemingly endless torrent of frustrations and disappointments, but the time will come when even this alliance will reach its inevitable limit.
With his elegant, unobtrusive camerawork and fluid storytelling, Chen leaves ample room for his actors to explore their characters' wide-ranging emotions. Yeo and Koh, both of whom starred in Ilo Ilo, give brave performances that shadow each step in this story of two souls coming together, however briefly, on their respective journeys toward hard-won self-actualization. - Krátké a kreslené filmy
Congratulations to Yann Yann for winning the Best Actress award at the prestigious Golden Horse Awards in Taiwan, and at the Pingyao International Film Festival (PYIFF) in China; and to Anthony for winning the Best Film award at the PYIFF Awards.
He is one handsome director!!
Yann Yann is one fine and elegant woman. Very talented actress.
love this bittersweet movie
part 2 😭😭😭😭
Did the host introduce her as “ Yann Yann Yann “ ?
He only had to remember 2 names and he couldn’t get it right.
It wasn’t nice of Anthony to make public that Yann wasn’t his wish list for the lead role.
Fact is , Yann’s Best Actress Award is helping him propel this movie now.
Am glad she got to prove him wrong.
I think he meant to say Yang Yan Yan
新加坡雙語教育真成功，雖然口音都很梁志強，但每個人都會兩三種以上的語言能力，台灣好像只會漢語跟閩南話，會英文的只有少數
The lady ( Yeo Yann Yann) is a Malaysian from Johor state, not a Singaporean
Yann Yann is indeed an actress from Malaysia, but she had spent a number of years working as a Theatre/Stage actress in Singapore, before moving on to take on TV and movie projects in both Singapore and Malaysia.
這三人的英語發音一點都不「梁智強」。
马来西亚比新加坡成功吧，新加坡人都是太注重英文多过自己身为华人的母语 华文了。
wish we could know what the audience asked
Thanks for the boycott from the Big Brother, Singapore films thrived and bagged three Golden Horses in Taipei. Watch Wet Season and re-think that should Singapore be concocted as a
"Chinese state".
Really?
Omg, i don't know this
