Wanted to post this comment on their website but i think it failed:
just watched this film for a Singapore Studies lecture in NUS and I think this adds a much needed entry to the cultural heritage of Singapore for a collage of snapshots of Singapore in the 90s. Especially beautiful were the harmonica and guitar playing in harmony. Great video that emphasizes instead on the audio. However, certain cut scenes did not seem to match the mise-en-scene, like the harmonica on the MRT - clearly they didn't have the music played to them, a case of misplaced non-diegetic sound. And some enjambment in the mode when in Serangoon we hear the dialect news, an unlikely pairing of the Indian people's scene and the Chinese people's scene in Singapore. However the video inconsistency can be forgiven for the effort in the capturing of the soundscape of Singapore, so good work!
Thought it was another feature film that I can afford to miss since I haven't known much about it. But after watching it or rather listening to it another feeling came over me. It is the classic case of not appreciating what you have in front of you but instead you yearn for the world outside. The fact that it's a documentary gave it a bit more truth and awareness, with bits where you can hear the interviewer asking questions softly. It felt raw and a scene that you and I could have passed by without noticing anything special about it. Except it is.
