Sunday screened at Singapore International Film Festival

This romantic drama focuses on the relationship between two young immigrants working in Singapore – Lily (Rhen Escaño), a Filipino housemaid employed by a middle-aged couple (Adrian Pang and Michelle Saram), and Minh (Ho Thanh Trung), a Vietnamese busboy working for his aunt. The movie provides not only a picture of socio-economic disproportion between different social classes in Singapore, but also underlines the universal desire for human connection.

“Paradox” is the newest entry on the famous Spl saga, which began in 2005 with the cult action film “Kill Zone” starring Sammo Hung, Simon Yam and Donnie Yen. “Paradox” is the third installment, again directed by Wilson Yip, who directed the first installment. “Paradox,” which plotwise has nothing to do with the others, stars Louis Koo, Wu Yue, Tony Jaa, Chris Collins, Gordon Lam, Michelle Saram, Ken Lo, Tang Stephy, Hanna Chan and Vithaya Pansringarm among others.
