    Singapore Dreaming

    Colin GOH, WOO Yen-yen 2006 Singapore Fiction color 105min English, Chinese 35mm
    Disappointed by his failed dreams, Loh Poh Huat takes out his frustrations on his family. So when he wins the lottery, everyone believes the money will relieve them of their troubles. However, Loh dies abruptly and his elaborate and surreal Taoist funeral pitches the family into a battle where the stakes are the very meaning of life itself.

    Singapore Dreaming is a poignant yet darkly humorous story which follows the lives of six individuals as they navigate the rapidly changing conditions experienced in today’s modern South-East Asian cities. The winner of the Montblanc New Screenwriters Award, this “graceful film about capitalism in the East” (Variety) is also the highest-grossing independent Singaporean film of the past 8 years.
