ILO ILO by Anthony Chen has won the Caméra d'Or at the 66th Cannes Film Festival
The film is getting great reviews all around the world.
"We were touched by four characters, and the story of a family in Singapore. The director's intelligence and sensitivity bring forth very important issues - childhood, immigration, class struggles, the economic crisis. Camera d'Or jury president Agnes Varda .“A delicate comedy-drama that contains four nicely realised and empathetic characters. A small gem about how families learn to persevere during the toughest of times. The film could enjoy worldwide
theatrical attention when one considers that, although the movie is set in Singapore, the issues at play are universal."SCREEN / Tim Gierson

“An impressive family drama that bypasses the usual Singaporean auteurist tics of arch dialogue and fabricated anomie in favour of well-drawn, basically sympathetic characters, ILO ILO bids fair for writer-director Anthony Chen's.”
FILMBIZ ASIA / Derek Elley
