08/11/2016 I actually haven't seen this movie. I got sidetracked. See more 12/18/2015 Wonderful piece of work. Very proud that Singapore produced a good film that even premiered in LA:) See more 12/16/2015 Faeryville is a film which provides us with different prospective of what both youths and adults have to face. Our identities and our place in our societies. I found it to be thought provoking. See more 12/16/2015 Counterculture, fiery and explosive. See more 12/16/2015 Love this film! The characters are very relatable and brought to life with a great cast. The film addresses some very interesting and important ideas, and problems. Highly recommended! See more 05/27/2015 I had the pleasure of catching a "secret" preview of Tzang Merwyn Tong's latest movie, Faeryville, held at SCAPE, as part of their events showcasing the local arts scene. About 4 months after a successful premiere at Hollywood, Tzang's film finally made it home. After the successful world premiere in Los Angeles, the film is cleared for screening in Singapore, UNCUT, with a M18 rating. I don't want to give away anything of the story details, but let's just say the themes explored in it are universal, and especially relevant to our current times, never mind that it was conceived and has been in a making-of stage for the past 8 years. The entire film has quite a dream-like quality to it, at times descending into the nightmare realms. The themes of oppression and power explored in the film are such ubiquitous themes so the fantasy/dystopian setting of the Faeryville College is just perfect to me. It doesn't confine itself to any one setting, just applies itself to the general cliques of outcasts and the popular kids. The lack of a real world based setting breaks the cultural borders which normally confine a local film to its home country, and this works to Faeryville's appeal. As someone who's been both the bullied(oppressed), and the bully(oppressor), I find that I can relate to characters on both cliques. While not exactly part the most popular crowd on campus, I demanded my share of the spotlight for my comedy routines! And some of those jokes probably bruised their fair share of egos! (I'm sorry.) The soundtrack is beautifully scored by Alex Oh and also features tracks from Singaporean bands, such as In Each Hand A Cutlass, The Great Spy Experiment. Good introduction to the Singapore music scene, you should definitely check our bands out. When was the last time you walked out of a movie wanting to discuss it further with your friends? This film WILL make you do that. Get your fingers ready. Faeryville is showing exclusively at Bugis Filmgarde, limited run! Tickets will be open for pre-booking on May 7th, and the movie officially opens May 26th! Faeryville is unlike any of the Singapore films that usually hit our cinemas, so don't miss this opportunity! #FaeryvilleArmy #FaeryvilleBlitz P.S. There are plans for a wider USA release in future, so do keep an eye for that, if you didn't hear about the Los Angeles red carpet earlier! Worth the try! See more Read all reviews
