At the 8th Singapore Short Cuts, director Anthony Chen addresses a question about Singapore films and the overbearing influence of the family in Singapore films. Anthony hits it right on the nail with his comment that many Singapore films can't seem to be able to portray the indecent or the outrageous even if it happens in real life. That means things like gang rape, incest will never occur in a local film, given the fact that audiences here may not be ready to accept. But it remains a boundary to pushed eventually. Or will it be pushed? We look forward to your comments.
