of the nsfw trailer for lang tong (靚汤)

SEX, violence, nudity, repeat. Sounds like something out of a Category-Three-rated (s)exploitation flick which was a mainstay of Hong Kong cinema during the Nineties? Not quite. Instead, it's the eyebrow-raising trailer of Lang Tong, a raunchy new local thriller that will make its world premiere at the upcoming Singapore International Film Festival.



Directed by Sam Loh, the film is his second feature after 2004's Outsiders, which was also selected to debut at the Fest but was yanked after he did not agree to screen it with cuts. That experience, however, didn't make Loh think twice about watering down the raunchier elements of Lang Tong, which means "nice soup" in Cantonese.

"I just went for it and didn't try to self-censor at all," admits the 46-year-old when asked about the extremely NSFW ("not safe for work") trailer which features plenty of bare breasts and sex scenes. To his relief, the film has been passed uncut. It caught him by surprise, in fact. "To be honest, I really didn't expect it to be passed, (so) I guess you can say that censorship here has changed a bit from 10 years ago when I made Outsiders."

Whole new take on S'pore films
