Another Singaporean movie heads to Cannes1 min read
Reading Time: < 1 minuteAnother Singaporean movie has been selected to screen at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, this time in the form of K. Rajagopal’s feature film, “A Yellow Bird”. The Singapore-France co-production will not only be screened at the festival’s 55th Critics’ Week, but will also be competing against six other movies under the same section. It will be competing for the top Nespresso Grand Prize and France 4 Visionary Award, and since this is the director’s first feature-length work, he will also be up for Camera d’Or, which director Anthony Chen previously won for his 2013 movie, “Ilo Ilo”.
“A Yellow Bird” follows Siva, a Singaporean-Indian ex-convict who is released after eight years behind bars. He later saves a Chinese prostitute from a violent man and they soon begin a romance. But she is deported back to China. His life turns for the worse when his mother dies and he finds out a haunting secret about his family.
