“Gone Shopping,” written and directed by Li Lin Wee, will make its U.S. premiere at AAIFF on July 16. Films made in Singapore are a new, fast-growing addition to the Asian film market, and this one—an offbeat satire set in a shopping mall—has gotten some good buzz. But when I agreed to review this film, I didn’t know I had a personal connection to Singapore.

They all look so different from each other. haha

Sounds like a good movie.

Kind of reminds me of Crash.

Yeah it does only with more Asian people. Haha

Haha I don’t think its alike.

Why’s that? Haha I guess in a way it is with the lives clashing or overlapping.

Are there any more independent films?

Probably. ^^ You should check the AAIFF site.

Actually, thuluvsu, it’s nothing like Crash. I did not care for Crash because it seemed to moralize about racism--everybody’s a racist, everybody hates everyone. This film is much more subtle. I won’t be able to make it this year, but if you’re close to NYC I encourage you to check out AAIFF.
