Geylang

Lust, shame, passion, lies and violence - the lives of individuals intertwine in an unyielding web under the red lights of Geylang. A desperate doctor searching for an organ for his daughter, a tormented prostitute paying off her lover's debt, a social worker with political inclinations willing to cross the line, and a ruthless pimp with a dark secret. Nothing is quite what it seems as a long night awaits.

Directed by Boi Kwong, Geylang leans on a strong ensemble — Mark Lee, Shane Mardjuki, Sheila Sim — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about thriller titles of 2023.
