It’s not often when Singaporean cinema manages to break into our news headline stream, but on the heals of his Camera d’Or win (best debut film at the Cannes Film Festival – this includes the Directors’ Fortnight and Critics’ Week sections) this past Sunday night (you can see the all smiles pic of the filmmaker accompanied by head jury member Agnès Varda), Anthony Chen will see his Ilo Ilo grab an early limited 2014 theatrical release via the Film Movement folks.
Gist: Set during the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis backdrop, Ilo ilo chronicles the relationship between the Lim family and their newly arrived maid, Teresa. Like many other Filipino women, she has come to this Singaporean city in search of a better life. Her presence in the family worsens their already strained relationship. Jiale, the young and troublesome son, starts to form a unique bond with Teresa, who soon becomes an unspoken part of the family.

- First reaction: non-surprise. Many of the films mentioned below were tagged to be amongst the final choices – and the ones that I thought were going to break into the fest (namely a couple of American pics) look to be headed to Italy’s Venice film fest in the fall. Two films that I won’t be checking out are the ones that I’ve already seen (albeit, 10 minutes more of Deathproof could be interesting) and Zodiac a film that could have been featured apart from the comp titles. Here is the complete list below. Opening film: My Blueberry Nights - Wong Kar Wai4 Luni, 3 Saptamini Si 2 Zile (4 Months, 3 Weeks And 2 Days)- Cristian Mungiualexandra - Alexander Sokourovauf Der Anderen Seite - Fatih Akinbreath - Kim Ki DukLES Chansons D’Amour - Christophe HONORÉDEATH Proof - Quentin Tarantinoimport Export - Ulrich Seidlizgnanie (The Banishment) - Andrey Zvyagintsevthe Man From London
