SINGAPORE SLING (1990)
February 27 : 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm
“ONE OF THE MOST BRUTAL, SICK, UNPLEASANT, AND STOMACH-CHURNING FILMS TO BE MADE. That it is artfully shot, well-acted, philosophically poignant, and mannered only seems to add to the discomfort levels. There are no films like this one, and, should you decide you have the stamina, I encourage you to seek it out. It plays like a combination of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Grey Gardens with sexually torturous hints of Last Tango in Paris with a few dashes of noir-ish Sunset Boulevard narration.” -Witney Seibold
On a dark and stormy night, Mother and Daughter, a wealthy pair of psychopathic killers with a penchant for murdering their servants, happen upon a badly injured man laying dying in the mud. Bringing him back to their opulent villa, they begin nursing him back to health before subjecting him to every manner of torture imaginable. But as each of the twisted duo develops their own unique interest in their mysterious victim, a perverse love triangle begins to unfold that will lead to shocking revelations. As staggeringly beautiful as it is notorious, Nikos Nikolaidis’ acclaimed SINGAPORE SLING is a grotesque, sensual, and altogether unforgettable genre cinema gem from one of Greece’s key arthouse auteurs.
