It charts the rising and collapsing fortunes of Jack Flowers, a sublimely moral American pimp beautifully played by Ben Gazzara, as he negotiates the slippery, changing landscape of Singapore in the 70s, bringing him into contact with a vivid cast of characters including sex workers, gangsters, CIA spies, Vietnam-bound soldiers and depressed expatrites. Entirely shot on location in 1978, the filmmakers set ot to capture their experience of Singapore as authentically as possible. This film is often cited as one of the director's best work by Wes Anderson, Quentin Tarantino and Bogdanovich himself.To Note:- All film screenings are held at Oldham Theatre, National Archives of Singapore. - Tickets can be purchased at the Oldham Theatre Box Office.

'Singaporeana' evokes the country's myths, history, varied cultures, particularly when seen through the exoticizing gaze of the curious visitor.  Updates tag:peatix.com,2019-09-03 02:56:51 2019-09-03 02:56:51 The event description was updated.
